Robert Walter (Bob) Scott (born 13 June 1929, Haw River, North Carolina) was the Democratic governor of the state of North Carolina from 1969 to 1973.
The son of North Carolina Governor W. Kerr Scott, Bob Scott was a dairy farmer before being elected to the post of Lieutenant Governor in 1964 and that of Governor in 1968. Constitutionally barred from seeking another term, he later served as co-chairman of the Appalachian Regional Commission and as President of the North Carolina Community College System (from 1983 until 1995).
His daughter, Meg Scott Phipps, later became North Carolina's commissioner of agriculture; in 2003, Bob Scott was implicated in the campaign finance scandal which drove Phipps to resign from office.
