Johnny McLachlan was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s. He played in the NSWRFL premiership for North Sydney as a halfback.
McLachlan began his first grade career in 1940 and was a member of the North Sydney side which made the grand final in 1943. McLachlan scored the only try in the game for Norths as they lost the match to Newtown 34–7 in front of a then record crowd for a grand final.
