John Wyeth Scott, II, known as Jock Scott (June 29, 1947 – April 25, 2009), was a lawyer and college professor in Alexandria, Louisiana, who served three terms from District 26 in the Louisiana House of Representatives, first as a Democrat (1976–1985) and then as a Republican (1985–1988). He was defeated in a race for the Louisiana State Senate in 1987. He also lost two bids for the United States House of Representatives: a 1985 special election, when he ran as a Democrat, and in the 2004 nonpartisan blanket primary for the Fifth Congressional District, when he challenged fellow Republican U.S. Representative Rodney Alexander of Jackson Parish.
