Scott Morphett (born 24 March 1965) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and Woodville-West Torrens in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

His club merged with Woodville to form Woodville-West Torrens in 1991, and he took out their inaugural Club Champion award. This was on the back of his Ken Farmer Medal–winning season up forward, where he kicked 99 goals to top the league's goal-kicking.
