Robert Scott (26 January 1811 – 2 December 1887) was a British academic philologist and Church of England priest.
He studied classics at Christ Church, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1833.
He was a prebendary of Exeter Cathedral from 1845 to 1866 and rector of South Luffenham, Rutland, from 1850 to 1854 when he was elected Master of Balliol College, Oxford.
Scott is best known as the co-editor (with his colleague Henry Liddell) of A Greek-English Lexicon, the standard dictionary of the classical Greek language.
In 1872, Scott was taken with Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" poem published the year before, and he wrote the first known German translation of the piece.
