Ijah Massai Anderson (born 30 December 1975) is a footballer who plays as a defender.

Anderson played in The Football League for Brentford, Wycombe Wanderers, Bristol Rovers and Swansea City. He also had a spell in non-League football with Conference South club Lewes.

He made his debut in The Football League for Brentford, in the 1–1 away draw against Bury on 17 August 1996 in a Second Division.[1]

In November 2005, Anderson tested positive for taking cocaine and was banned for six-months, although he pleaded his innocence claiming his drink was spiked.[2][3]

Steve King signed Anderson for Conference South club Lewes, in August 2006.[4] However, he was released less than a month later after just four appearances for Lewes.[5]
