Charles McLean MM (20 September 1892 – 7 March 1965) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A loose forward, McLean represented Buller at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1920. He played five matches for the All Blacks, scoring seven tries, but did not appear in any internationals.[2]

McLean enlisted for military service in August 1914, and served with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force throughout World War I, including at Gallipoli.[1] A private, he was awarded the Military Medal in 1918, for acts of gallantry in the field.[1][3]

McLean died in Christchurch on 7 March 1965,[2] and he was buried at Hokitika Cemetery.[4]
