Alexander Grimmond Davie (born 10 June 1945) is a Scottish former footballer, who played as goalkeeper. Davie spent most of his career with Dundee United and represented Scotland at under-23 level and New Zealand at senior level.

In 1967, Ted Bates tried to sign Davie for £15,000 but the offer was rejected. He eventually joined Southampton in May 1970 (for a fee of £12,500) as cover for Eric Martin, but only made one appearance for the Saints on 20 February 1971 in a 5–1 defeat at Manchester United. Four of Manchester United's goals were scored by Alan Gowling.[3] He returned to his home town club in May 1972 where he enjoyed several good seasons before emigrating to New Zealand.

Davie played for the All Whites, making his debut in a 3–0 win over Fiji on 1 July 1979[4] and ended his international playing career with 11 A-international caps to his credit.[5] He was involved at various levels with the New Zealand ladies' football team – the Football Ferns – until April 2003. Davie was also manager at North Shore United shortly after emigrating.
