Pippa Scott (born November 10, 1935) is an American actress who has appeared in film and television since the 1950s.

Scott was born in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of actress Laura Straub and screenwriter Allan Scott; an uncle was the blacklisted screenwriter Adrian Scott. Scott was married from 1964 to 1983 to Lee Rich, a founding partner of Lorimar Productions, an Emmy-winning television company and the single largest provider of programming to the networks for two and a half decades. The two divorced and have five children.

Scott attended Radcliffe and UCLA before studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in England. Shortly after her return to the United States, she won a Theatre World Award for her 1956 Broadway debut in Child of Fortune. Scott then quickly signed a contract with Warner Bros. and made her movie debut that same year with a role in John Ford's epic The Searchers.

Scott was cast in the 1958 film As Young As We Were in the role of a new high school teacher who falls in love with the character Hank Moore, played by Robert Harland, who turns out to be a student. She also appeared as Pegeen in the 1958 movie, Auntie Mame.

She appeared as Abigail in the 1959 episode of Maverick titled "Easy Mark". In the 1959-1960 CBS television series Mr. Lucky, starring John Vivyan and Ross Martin, she had a recurring role as Maggie Shank-Rutherford, Lucky's young girlfriend. About this time, she also appeared on the ABC/Warner Brothers western series, The Alaskans.
