Ben MacDougall (born 25 May 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby union player who is a former rugby league player. He primarily plays at Centre.

MacDougall played rugby union in Scotland for three years from 2004 to 2007, representing the Scotland national rugby union team. MacDougall qualified for Scotland through his grandfather, Alan, who came from Glasgow. MacDougall was targeted by Matt Williams, the former Scotland coach in 2004. Williams did not rate Scotland's centre's and, having failed to persuade MacDougall's older brother Adam, a rugby league international, he recruited Ben.[1] He made his Scotland debut against Wales on 12 February 2006 in a 2006 Six Nations Championship match at the Millennium Stadium.

MacDougall joined Edinburgh Rugby in 2004 and in 2006 moved to the Border Reivers.[1]

Before departing for Scotland in 2005, MacDougall played for the Western Suburbs Magpies, the Newcastle Knights, the Northern Eagles, the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and the Melbourne Storm in the National Rugby League.
