Sean Lineen (born 25 December 1961) is a Scottish rugby player, originally from New Zealand. He has been awarded the freedom of the city of Edinburgh.
Lineen was born on 25 December 1961, in Auckland. He is the son of rugby player Terry Lineen.
Lineen played at centre 29 times for Scotland, and for Boroughmuir RFC. He was a member of the notable Scottish Grand Slam team of 1990.
In the 1985/6 season he made his first journey to the UK, playing for Pontypool. In October 1988 he came to Scotland and played for Boroughmuir. He qualified for Scotland through his grandfather and made his international debut on 21 January 1989 against Wales at Murrayfield aged 27.
Following his international career, Lineen divided his time between coaching Boroughmuir – during which he was involved in both cup and league triumphs – and running the Scottish Rugby magazine. Lineen was appointed assistant coach at Glasgow Rugby (now Glasgow Warriors) for the start of the 2003–04 season and became a member of the Scotland national coaching team under Frank Hadden in the summer of 2005, coaching the backs.

I'm a tree with my leaves in the breeze
Free in the air with my roots underneath me
Every time that I walk out the door
I'm alone in a world that I don't seem fit for
And it maybe that lately I can't be sure
And it maybe that lately I'm insecure
I can't forget about
The time that we ran on the beach
and the time that we felt out of reach
And the time we watch TV
You and me every night for a hundred weeks
And it maybe that lately I can't be sure
And it maybe that lately I'm insecure
I can't ever forget about
And it maybe I'm just like you said I'd be
And it maybe you're just like I thought you'd be
