Heath Scotland (born July 21, 1980) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
He was recruited as the number 44 draft pick in the 1998 AFL Draft from Darley by the Collingwood Football Club. He was then traded to the Carlton Football Club for Pick 35 (Brent Hall) in 2003.
Heath was a very important player for Collingwood, having a standout year in 2002 as a midfielder, and playing in both Collingwood Grand Finals in 2002 and 2003. A drop in form and favour in the club saw him traded to Carlton at the end of the 2003 season. He has been an important part of Carlton's team since, playing either as a midfielder or sweeping half-back, directing the switches. His 2006 season was stellar, and saw him play every game and rank in the top twenty for Champion Data rankings in the league. He averaged 27 disposals, had six games with 30 or more disposals, a season-high of 33 disposals, three triple-doubles, and had an average of 2.8 tackles per game.
