Ralph Vernon Scott (September 26, 1894 – August 16, 1936) was a professional football player in the first American Football League and the National Football League for the Chicago Staleys-Bears and the New York Yankees. Scott was a member of the 1921 Chicago Staleys APFA Championship team. In 1926 C. C.

That year he was selected to the all-Big Ten Conference team and was an all-American Walter Camp selection. Scott was best remembered for his blocking ability.
