Andrew John Scott (born 12 March 1952) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Scott made his senior VFL debut in 1972, when Hawthorn were reigning premiers.[2] He played a total of four games that year and another two the following season.[2]

A former policeman, Scott spent his career as a half forward or on-baller.

After returning briefly to Sorrento, his original club, Scott joined the Wangaratta Rovers in the Ovens & Murray Football League. He was joint winner of a Morris Medal in 1975, when he polled the equal move votes with Jack O'Halloran of the Wangaratta Football Club. That year he also played in a winning grand final side and he would be a member of three further premierships with the Rovers.[3]
