Harry Scott (7 November 1926 – 21 January 2012) was an English international rugby union player.
Scott was born in Batley, Yorkshire. His father, Bobby Scott, played rugby league for Swinton and Cumberland.[1]
A diminutive fullback, Scott played his rugby in Manchester and was a Lancashire representative player. He was capped once for England in 1955 when Nigel Gibbs was sidelined with an eye injury, slotting in at fullback for their Five Nations match against France at Twickenham, which they lost 9–16.[2]
Scott was an engineering draughtsman by profession.[3]
