Robert Calderwood (4 October 1862 – 13 May 1939) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside left or centre forward for Cartvale (1878 club), Cowlairs, Bootle, Newcastle West End, Thistle, Cartvale (1892 club) and Scotland.
Calderwood scored three goals for Scotland in the 1884–85 British Home Championship, but was later suspended for two years by the Scottish Football Association for being adjudged to have become a professional when signing for English club Bootle before making an appearance for Cowlairs in the (amateur-only) 1887–88 Scottish Cup.[1] He returned to play at a high level after this suspension.[2]
