Suzanne Lappin (born 13 October 1986) is a former Scottish international football midfielder who last played for Glasgow City in the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) before retiring in 2015. She began her senior career with Glasgow City in 2003 before spending two seasons in the English FA WSL with Liverpool Ladies in 2011 and Chelsea Ladies in 2012; her time at Liverpool also included a loan spell at Celtic. Lappin re-signed with Glasgow City in 2012.
Lappin has 11 caps and 3 goals for the Scotland women's national football team. At youth level, she captained the Scotland side that qualified for the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship for the first time.
A goalscoring central midfielder, Lappin joined Glasgow City in 2003 from Cumbernauld Cosmos U-16s. She signed for Liverpool for the inaugural season of the Football Association Women's Super League (FA WSL) in 2011. At that time, she was Glasgow City's all-time record goalscorer with 170 goals.
Lappin made her debut for Liverpool in a friendly win over Hibernian Ladies. During the WSL mid–season break, Lappin joined Celtic and scored on her debut for the Hoops in a 3–0 win over Rangers.
Lappin returned to the FA WSL with Chelsea Ladies in January 2012. She scored on her debut for the London club, in a 3–0 FA Women's Cup win over Brighton. In Chelsea's semi final victory over Arsenal, Lappin was an unused substitute. She was left out of the squad altogether for Chelsea's controversial defeat to Birmingham City in the 2012 FA Women's Cup Final.
