Ian McLauchlan is a Scottish Rugby union footballer.

Nicknamed 'Mighty Mouse', he represented Scotland at loosehead prop from 1969 to 1979. He played in eight tests for the British Lions in New Zealand and South Africa, only once finishing on the losing side.

His scrummaging and loose play were both from the top drawer.

In New Zealand in 1971 he replaced another Scottish loosehead prop Sandy Carmichael who was unlucky to be punched and suffer damage to the cheekbone in Canterbury.
