William Alexander Scott CBE JP (born 1940) is a politician in Bermuda who is the MP for the Warwick South East constituency.

Perhaps the most memorable event of his term was the construction of a new high school campus for the Berkeley Institute, a project with suffered significant overruns, contracting irregularities and work delays.

The hallmarks of his premiership were the promotion of a Social Agenda and the launch of an unpopular drive for Independence from the United Kingdom.

[2][3] Supporters believed he wished to spread Bermuda's wealth among the population, while critics charged that the Scott administration was racially divisive, autocratic, and lacked accountability.

Scott was never successful in unifying the factions in the party and he was ousted, by a vote of 107-76, in a leadership challenge by his Deputy Premier, Dr. Ewart Brown, during a PLP delegates conference on 27 October 2006.
