Malcolm Fox Scott (11 May 1911 – 31 May 1989) was an Australian politician who served as a Senator for Western Australia from 1950 to 1971, representing the Liberal Party.

Scott contested the preselection process for the Division of Forrest prior to the 1949 federal election, but lost to Gordon Freeth.

Scott was a proponent of centralisation (an unpopular view amongst many of his constituents) and suggested that the Kimberley should be transferred from Western Australia to the Northern Territory so it could be under federal control.

He had shared offices with John Gorton early in his career, and supported his bid for the Liberal leadership after the death of Harold Holt.

He had considered running as an independent, but decided against doing so due to a pledge he had made not to oppose endorsed Liberal candidates.

Scott had moved his family to Perth soon after entering the senate, and lived there in retirement (while still owning property in the country).
