Scott Scanlon was a character in the popular FOX TV series Beverly Hills 90210. He was portrayed by actor Douglas Emerson.

The series began with David Silver (played by Brian Austin Green) fulfilling the role of the unpopular nerd, his only friend being Scott.

During a confrontation, Scott tried to impress the increasingly popular David by showing off his father's gun collection, spinning the gun on one finger. Unfortunately, the gun fired and killed Scott.

Scott had a younger sister named Sue who, like the rest of her family, was greatly distressed by Scott's death. She accused Gil Meyers, a popular AP English and journalism teacher at West Beverly High, of sexual assault, but he was eventually exonerated when she admitted that she lied about the encounter. She revealed to Donna Martin that both she and Scott were molested by an uncle and that now a younger sister was also a victim. It was also suggested that Scott's death was actually a suicide, not an accident.
