Sir Nicholas Paul Scott PC (5 August 1933 – 6 January 2005), also known as Nick Scott, was a British Conservative Party politician.
Scott was educated at Clapham College and was national chairman of the Young Conservatives in 1963. He served as a councillor on Holborn Borough Council 1956–59 and 1962–65.
Scott contested Islington South West at the 1959 general election and at the 1964 election.
He entered the House of Commons on his third attempt, at the 1966 general election. He was returned as Member of Parliament (MP) for the Paddington South constituency, beating Labour's Conrad Russell. When his seat was abolished in boundary changes for the February 1974 election, he stood in the new Paddington seat, but lost to the outgoing Paddington North MP Arthur Latham.
