Stuart Robert Kennedy (born 31 May 1953, in Grangemouth) is a former Scottish international footballer who played as a right-back for Falkirk and Aberdeen.
Kennedy moved to Pittodrie in 1976 for £30,000 and featured prominently in Aberdeen's greatest period of success. He won every major domestic honour in his time in the North-East, namely the League in 1979-80, the Scottish Cup in 1981-82, and the 1976-77 League Cup.
He was selected in the Scotland squad for the 1978 World Cup, where he played in the games against Peru and The Netherlands. He received 8 caps in total in his 3 year international career between 1978 and 1981.
A serious injury forced Kennedy into retirement in 1983 and he has since worked as a publican.
