'''Stanley Winckworth Scott''' (24 March 1854 – 8 December 1933) was an English [[cricketer]] who played for [[Middlesex County Cricket Club|Middlesex]].

Scott was a middle-order batsman who played fairly regularly for Middlesex from 1878 to 1893, heading the batting averages in several seasons, though by modern standards his figures appear modest. His best season was 1892, when he scored 1015 runs at an average of 39 runs per innings, and against [[Gloucestershire County Cricket Club|Gloucestershire]] at [[Lord's]] that season he scored 224, then regarded as a colossal score. He did well that season in both [[Gentlemen v Players]] matches at Lord's and [[The Oval]], and was named as a [[Wisden Cricketer of the Year]] in 1893.

He also played [[association football|football]] and played for [[Clapham Rovers F.C.|Clapham Rovers]] in the [[1879 FA Cup Final]], losing 1–0 to  the [[Old Etonians F.C.|Old Etonians]].
