Sandy McVea was an Aboriginal Australian boxer and actor. Originally from Western Australia, he later began boxing with the promoter Snowy Baker. He fought in the featherweight division, including bouts against Greek boxer Jack Brown in 1919 as well as the Victorian champion Bert McCarthy (which he lost on points) and Harry Pearson (whom he knocked out) both in early 1921. A contemporary report on the latter bout said: McVea featured in the 1918 silent film The Enemy Within playing an Aboriginal detective. He died of tuberculosis in the Broken Hill Hospital in February 1923.
