Harry Scott (27 October 1937 – 16 December 2015) was a British boxer and contender in the middleweight division during the 1960s. He never fought for the British title, losing three final eliminators.
Yet his ability was widely recognised, and he fought around the world, facing four past or future world champions, including Emile Griffith and Alan Minter. But he is best known for his two contests in 1965 against Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, who had fought for the world title the previous December.
In their first meeting in March, Carter was awarded the victory on cuts in the ninth round despite trailing on points, only to be outpointed six weeks later, in what Boxing News declared to be one of the finest victories by a British boxer in the previous 20 years. Scott retired in 1973.
