Henry James Herbert Scott (26 December 1858 — 23 September 1910) was a cricketer who played for Victoria and Australia. Scott, a doctor by training, later served as mayor and chief magistrate in the rural New South Wales town of Scone; he died here of typhoid in 1910.

Scott's brief international career ended after he captained the unsuccessful Australian team that toured England in 1886 as he decided to remain in the country and complete his qualification as a doctor. He played eight Test matches between 1884 and 1886 with a highest score of 102.
