Albert Robert 'Bert' McTaggart (20 April 1916 – 11 August 1997) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton and Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1940s.
A centre half forward in Williamstown's 1939 VFA premiership team, McTaggart was used as a forward at Carlton to limited effect. He kicked three goals from full-forward in his second senior game, against North Melbourne at Princes Park.
In 1942 he crossed to Footscray where he was shifted to defense, mostly as a back pocket. He played all of Footscray's 19 games in 1944, including a Semi Final. He missed the early part of the 1945 VFL season due to a hand injury.
McTaggart finished his career in Tasmania, coaching Clarence.
