Malcolm McVean (born Jamestown, Dunbartonshire, March 7, 1871 - died Glasgow, June 6, 1907) was a Scottish footballer in the 19th century who was signed by John McKenna for Liverpool from Third Lanark. McVean was a leading member of the "Team of the all Macs"; he scored Liverpool's first ever goal (in a friendly against Rotherham Town F.C. on September 1, 1892, which Liverpool won 7-1).
McVean was also Liverpool's captain for their first ever competitive match, in the Lancashire League against Higher Walton on September 3, 1892 (Liverpool won 8-0, and Walton did not arrive until forty-five minutes after the scheduled kick-off time).
When Liverpool were admitted to the Football League a year later, it was McVean who grabbed their first ever goal in the Football League, in a 2-0 win away from home over Middlesbrough Ironopolis on September 2, 1893.
