Angus Scott (born 11 April 1978) is an Australian former professional rugby union player.

Scott grew up on a farm in the New South Wales town of Cootamundra.[1]

A loosehead prop, Scott was signed by the ACT Brumbies as an understudy to Ben Darwin and received limited opportunities in the Eddie Jones-coached team.[2] He moved on to the Queensland Reds, making nine appearances, then joined his third Super 12 franchise, signing a two-year contract with the Western Force in 2005 to play in their inaugural season.[3] [4] His time in Perth was marred by heel injuries and he was forced to retire in 2008 at the age 29.[5]
