Roy Hamilton Scott (born May 6, 1917, Clyde, Otago and died August 5, 2005 at Christchurch) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in one Test in 1947.

Scott was a middle-order right-handed batsman and a medium-pace bowler who played for Canterbury across the 1940s. His single Test was the one match in New Zealand played by the 1946-47 MCC side led by Walter Hammond. The match was ruined by rain; Scott scored 18 and took one wicket, that of Bill Edrich.

He was picked for the trial match for the 1949 New Zealand tour of England but, despite top-scoring in the New Zealand XI's second innings and taking four wickets, he was not picked for the tour, and retired after the match, re-emerging for just two more first-class matches in the 1954-55 season.
