Scott Bemand (born 21 September 1978 in Hereford) is a retired English rugby union player and current rugby coach. He formerly played for Harlequins, Leicester Tigers and Bath.

He was a member of the senior England squad that toured Australia in 2006.[1]

Bemand played for three seasons at Leicester Tigers before injury forced him out of the team at the end of the 2006–7 season. After a year blighted by injury, he signed to play for Bath Rugby from the 2008/9 season.[2]

Further injury forced his retirement at the end of the 2009–10 season.[3]

Bemand coached at Dorchester RFC within the senior squad on a weekly basis until 21 May 2015 when he was announced as the new England Women's team attack coach.[4] He completed his last game with the team in front of over 58000 people as England won another 6 Nations grand slam on April 29, 2023.

On 27 July 2023, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) announced the appointment of Bemand as head coach of their women's team on a 3 year contract.[5]
