William Scott (23 March 1886 – ?) was an English long-distance runner who competed at the 1912 Summer Olympics. He reached the finals of individual 10,000 m and cross-country races, but failed to complete them, partly due to a strong heat.[1][3]
Scott won the Amateur Athletic Association title over 10 miles in 1911 and 1912, and finished second in the national cross-country championship in 1911. He competed for England in the International Cross Country Championships in 1910–13.[1]
