Dylan McLaren (born May 5, 1982) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
He was recruited as the number 9 draft pick in the 2001 AFL Draft from Sale. He made his AFL debut for the Brisbane Lions in Round 20, 2001 against Fremantle.
Dylan struggled to have any major impact on his games until 2004, when he was a consistent player in the Lions' final 22. Dylan was delisted, and picked up by the Carlton Football Club with the first pick in the pre-season draft at the end of the 2005 season, with the intention that he would fill the back-up ruck position behind Barnaby French. He made his debut for Carlton in the first round, and played thirteen of the fourteen rounds before being dropped in favour of Adrian Deluca and Chris Bryan. He played for the Northern Bullants for the remainder of the season, rotating through the ruck and forward line to kick fifteen goals. He was expected to take the top ruck position at Carlton in 2007 but failed to play a senior game.
McLaren was delisted from the Carlton playing list on Thursday, 6th September 2007.
