Jack Scully was a fictional character in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. He initially appeared as a guest character portrayed by Paul Pantano in 2001. When he returned in late 2002 Jay Bunyan had taken over the role and played him until his departure in early 2005.

When the Scully family first arrived in Ramsay Street, the absent Jack was spoken of as being a successful soccer player for the fictional "Barnsford FC", stated to be one of England's top teams after having transferred from West Ham United F.C.. His family would occasionally watch the matches in which he played on television at unusual Australian hours (thanks to the UK-Australia time difference).

Later, Jack's soccer skills were heavily downgraded and when he returned to live with his family, it was stated that he had been away playing soccer for a minor team in New Zealand (a rewrite possibly owing to the casting of Bunyan, a New Zealand actor, who retained his accent in the role of Australian Jack). Jack had also lost a couple of years from his age (in a de-SORAS fashion), a rewrite that allowed his character to attend the same high school as the sisters he was originally written as being several years older than.
