Jerry Scott (b. May 2, 1955, South Bend, Indiana) is an American cartoonist. He currently lives in San Luis Obispo, California with his wife, Kim, and two daughters.

He is the creator of Baby Blues and co-creator of Zits. He began his comic career in the mid-1970s by submitting gag strips to various magazines. In 1983, he took over Nancy, which was created by Ernie Bushmiller (he eventually handed it over to Guy Gilchrist in the 1990s). He became friends with Rick Kirkman and they created Baby Blues, a comic based on family life with little children. Later on, Scott and Jim Borgman collaborated to create Zits, which follows family life with a teenaged son. Scott is still working on the last two strips as of 2007.
