Scott Tanser (born 23 October 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Scottish Premiership club St Mirren.

[3] He made his professional debut for the "Dale" after coming on as a 70th-minute substitute for D'Arcy O'Connor in a 1–0 victory over Plymouth Argyle at Spotland Stadium on 27 April 2013.

[5] Speaking the following month, manager Keith Hill said that Tanser was good enough to win England youth caps but that "politics in football, the bureaucracy and the propaganda" prevented lower league players from receiving a call-up.

He played just five league games in the first half of the 2016–17 campaign, and his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in January 2017 to allow him to find first-team football elsewhere.

In the summer he told The Courier that he was bulking up to gain greater strength and physicality, saying he was "on a special diet, total protein and six meals a day.

[21] He won the Scottish League Cup with St Johnstone in 2021, though was an unused substitute in the final as they beat Livingston at Hampden Park.

[26] On 7 June 2021, Tanser signed a one-year contract with Scottish Premiership club St Mirren, with an option for a further year.

[27] He established himself as a popular player at St Mirren Park for what the Daily Record called his "marauding runs down the left flank and his wicked deliveries into the box" and kept his first-team place after Jim Goodwin's departure in February.

[30] In October 2022, Tanser was involved in a car crash that left his wife injured; Robinson said that the accident "puts football into perspective".
