Lachlan Anderson (born 27 August 1997) is an Australian professional rugby union footballer who plays wing for Super Rugby franchise the Queensland Reds, having formerly played for the Rebels, and the Australia national rugby sevens team.[1][2][3][4] In his early career, he was selected to play in the 2017 World Rugby Under 20 Championships for Australia and plays for Shute Shield club Eastwood.

Anderson grew up in Baulkham Hills and played rugby for Dural rugby club. He was educated at Oakhill College where he played rugby and captained the first XV, the top representative team in secondary school with rugby league player Ryan Papenhuyzen.[5] In rugby sevens he made his World Rugby Sevens Series debut in Sydney in 2017. Anderson has also represented his country at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.[6]

Anderson was a member of the Australian men's rugby seven's squad at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The team came third in their pool round and then lost to Fiji 19-nil in the quarterfinal.[7]

On 31 May 2025, Anderson scored a record-breaking four tries in the first half against the Fijian Drua.[8] He became the first Reds player to score four tries in a game since the beginning of the professional era and joined Joe Roff (1996) and Drew Mitchell (2010) as the only Australian players to achieve this feat in Super Rugby.[9]
