Charles K. Scott (born August 19, 1945) is a Republican member of the Wyoming Senate, representing the 30th district[1] since 1983. Previously he was in the Wyoming House of Representatives from 1979 to 1982. From 1993-1994 he was vice president of the Senate. On January 6, 2025 his current term ends.[2]

In 1967, he received his B.A. from Harvard College[2] and his MBA from Harvard Business School in 1969.[3]

Scott won reelection in 2016 over Democratic opponent Robert Ford 5,831-1,521 (79.3% - 20.7%).[4] In 2012, Scott sponsored a resolution, SJR 3, meant to provide "health-care freedom" upon its amendment to the state constitution.[2] In February 2022, Scott was a strong proponent for a budget amendment to eliminate the University of Wyoming Gender Studies program, stating that it was, "extremely biased, ideologically driven that I can’t see any academically legitimacy to".[5]
