James Rand "Randy" McNally (born January 30, 1944) is a Tennessee politician and a Republican member of the Tennessee Senate. He is the 50th and current Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee since January 2017, due to his position as the 87th Speaker of the state Senate.

McNally has served in the Tennessee General Assembly since 1979. He was elected to the 91st through 94th General Assemblies as a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives. He was a key figure in the Operation Rocky Top investigation in the late 1980s, when he worked undercover to help the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation obtain evidence on political corruption in the Tennessee state government. He moved to the state senate for the 95th General Assembly in 1983, and has served there continuously since then. He is the former Chair of the Senate Finances, Ways, and Means committee, former Vice-Chair of the Senate Rules Committee, and a former member of the Senate General Welfare Committee and the Joint Fiscal Review Contract Services Subcommittee. McNally was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the Senate in 2007, but fellow Republican Ron Ramsey was elected to that position.
