Mickey Lawson (born 23 May 1949 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former association football player and manager. He played for Stirling Albion, St Johnstone, Raith Rovers, Berwick Rangers and Meadowbank Thistle, and has since managed league sides Arbroath and Meadowbank Thistle. He has also managed non-league sides Whitehill Welfare[1] and Spartans.

Lawson was appointed Spartans manager in 2001, and won six trophies in his first two seasons with the club.[2] He has since guided the club to significant Scottish Cup runs,[3] and was in charge when they (unsuccessfully) applied for membership of the Scottish Football League in 2008.[4]
