Christopher McCart (born 17 April 1967 in Baillieston) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a defender.

McCart started his career at Motherwell where he was voted player of the year in 1991. McCart spent the next twelve seasons with the Fir Park before a short spell with Falkirk. In 1990–91, McCart was part of Motherwell's Scottish Cup-winning side, while also winning the Scottish Challenge Cup with Falkirk in 1997–98.

After retiring from playing, McCart held a youth coaching role at former club Motherwell before joining Celtic as head of youth development in June 2008 following the death of Tommy Burns.^[3] Liverpool and Scotland full back Andy Robertson later stated in 2017 that McCart emphasised a more physical approach than had previously been the case at Celtic, and that this was instrumental in him (Robertson) being released from the club as a 15-year-old.^[4] Future internationals Declan Gallagher, Stuart Findlay, Jackson Irvine and Stephen O'Donnell also left Celtic before achieving better results elsewhere, but McCart played a role in the development of the likes of James Forrest, Callum McGregor and Kieran Tierney into top level players.^[5]

On 11 September 2008, McCart played for a Motherwell side in Dougie Arnott's belated testimonial match against an Old Firm select.^[6]

His son Jamie McCart is also a footballer and a defender, who began his career as an academy player at Celtic.^[7]
