Adrian Sprott (born 23 March 1962) is a Scottish former footballer, who played for Meadowbank, Hamilton and Stenhousemuir.

Sprott played for Hamilton in the Scottish Premier Division as a semi-professional player, as he combined his football career with working for Lothian & Borders Police.[1] During that period, Sprott scored a goal that knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup in a famous cup upset.[1][2] It also ended a British record period of Rangers goalkeeper Chris Woods not conceding a goal.[1] Sprott still works for what is now Police Scotland.
