Robert Ferrier (14 August 1872 – 11 December 1947) was a Scottish professional footballer.
Ferrier played for Dumbarton[4] and Sheffield Wednesday, as an inside forward.[5][6] In a 12-year spell with Wednesday, he was involved in the club's relegation from the Football League First Division in 1899, promotion as winners of the Second Division in 1900, followed by First Division championships in 1903 and 1904 (he was not involved in their two FA Cup final wins of that era).[7] The closest he got to international recognition was an appearance in the annual Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial match in 1901.[8]
