William Edgar Scott (19 February 1890 – 17 March 1968) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy and Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Scott, described as "a tramway employee who hails from Bairnsdale"[2] "with some reputation as a follower",[3] played three games for Fitzroy in the middle of the 1912 season.

Scott subsequently transferred to Fitzroy Juniors[4] where he played for the 1913 season . In 1914 he tried out with St Kilda[5] but in June 1914 he transferred from St Kilda to Williamstown in the Victorian Football Association.[6]

In 1915 Scott re-appeared in VFL ranks with Essendon, this time making four appearances.
