Scott Conley is an American football coach. He serves as head coach at Texas A&M University–Commerce since 2004. As head coach at Trinity Valley Community College he won a National Junior College Athletic Association National Championship in 1997.

Conley was a standout athlete at Winnsboro High School and excepted a scholarship from the Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, where he played on the freshmen varsity in 1966 before transferring to East Texas State (now Texas A&M University–Commerce). He graduated from East Texas State with a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1970. He then became assistant coach at the high school level. In 1977, he served as offensive coordinator on the Plano Senior High School squad that won a 4A state championship. Conley then moved up to the collegiate ranks, becoming running backs coach under Tom Wilson at Texas A&M in 1980. After Wilson was fired in 1982, Conley moved on to coach the running backs at the University of Texas at Austin under coach Fred Akers.

During the 1980s and early 1990s Conley served as assistant at several Division I-A colleges, before getting his first head coaching position at Trinity Valley in 1996. In 1997, Conley guided the Cardinals to a perfect 12–0 season, including a Red River Bowl victory over Garden City Community College. He was named the NJCAA National Coach of the Year and American Football Quarterly Junior College Coach of the Year. Conley left Trinity Valley CC in 1999 for the United States Naval Academy, where he coached the special teams for two years before moving into private business.

In December of 2003, he was introduced at his alma mater Texas A&M–Commerce as 17th head football coach.
