Alexander Russell "Sanny" Dick (1894 – 1958) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right back for Airdrieonians.

Installed as a first-team regular in defence in his second season (he initially played as a forward after joining from Armadale and featured less frequently), he missed only eight league matches across the four consecutive seasons where the Diamonds finished as runners-up in the Scottish Football League and also played in the 1924 Scottish Cup Final in which Airdrie defeated Hibernian[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=651AAAAAIBAJ&sjid=T6UMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3503%2C6701529 The Cup Final | Airdrieonians' First Success], The Glasgow Herald, 21 April 1924 to claim their only major trophy. In 1927 he was advised to stop playing football for health reasons, and Jimmy Crapnell was brought in as a replacement; Dick had a brief spell with Dykehead in his home district after leaving Broomfield Park.{{cite magazine|title=A Record of pre-war Scottish League Players|author=John Litster|magazine=Scottish Football Historian magazine|date=October 2012}}[https://mail.airdriefc.com/news/2016/02/greatestxi2 Greatest XI - 2.
