Alastair Oliver Scott (born 18 September 1965) is a New Zealand politician who was elected to the New Zealand parliament at the 2014 general election as a representative of the New Zealand National Party.
Scott grew up in Auckland and Wellington attending Wellington College and then Massey University in Palmerston North. He is the owner of the Matahiwi Estate winery.
Scott and his partner Robyn Noble-Campbell share their time between homes in the Wellington suburb of Kelburn (their primary home) and Masterton. Both of them have three children each.
Scott defeated Jo Hayes to win the National Party's selection for the Wairarapa electorate at the 2014 election. The late entry of Carterton mayor and former MP Ron Mark for New Zealand First turned the 2014 election into a "three-horse race" with Labour's Kieran McAnulty and Scott. In the end, Scott had a clear majority over McAnulty, with Mark slightly behind in third place.
