Levi Scott (October 11, 1802 – July 13, 1882) was an American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, elected in 1852.

His parents were Methodists, his father a class-leader and local preacher who entered the Itinerant Ministry of the Philadelphia Annual Conference in 1803.

[1][2] Scott continued to fill pastoral charges until, in 1840 he accepted the position of principal of the Dickinson Grammar School, Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

The year after his election, Scott sailed for Africa, visiting the missions and presiding at the session of the Liberia Annual Conference.

In December 1866, Scott convened and chaired a meeting that resulted in the founding of a Black seminary that would become Morgan State University.
