Scott Burgess (14 July 1958 – 6 May 2016) was an Australian actor, best known for his role as Dave McCall in police drama Water Rats from 1996 to 1999.

He went on to feature in The Great Bookie Robbery, The Dirtwater Dynasty and Inside Running, before scoring his long-running role as Senior Sergeant Dave McCall, in four seasons of Water Rats.

He quit the series of his own accord, desiring a change, and subsequently scored the lead role of Bill Peterson in Above the Law.
