Ian Fleming (born 15 January 1953) is a Scottish former football player and manager. He played for Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, Sheffield Wednesday and Dundee and was then player-manager of Brechin City.
Aberdeen signed Fleming for $15,000 from Kilmarnock in December 1975.
Despite guiding Brechin to promotion to the First Division and the club enjoying a successful spell, Fleming was sacked by Brechin in December 1986. Fleming was then assistant manager of Forfar Athletic and manager of Icelandic side FH in 1987.
In 2011, Fleming used his football contacts to raise funds for his twin granddaughters, who suffered from cerebral palsy. The funds were needed to pay for surgery in the United States that was not available in the NHS.
