Harold Scott Anderson (1892 – 1979) was a Scottish footballer perhaps best known for his time at Raith Rovers. He also played for the Scotland national team.

Anderson started his career at Hibernian before joining Raith Rovers in the summer of 1912. He was part of the team that reached the Scottish Cup final in 1913, which Raith lost to Falkirk. Anderson earned a Scotland cap the following year in a goalless draw with Wales.

During World War I he moved to St Mirren, initially on loan, and won a Victory Cup winners medal with the Paisley club in 1919. He ended his career with Clydebank and retired in 1922.
