Scott Cummings (born 18 January 1974) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon, Port Adelaide, the West Coast Eagles and Collingwood in the Australian Football League.
Cummings played primarily as a full forward and won the Coleman Medal in 1999 for being the leading goalscorer for the season. Although he was well renowned for his goal kicking abilities, Cummings occasionally played centre half back while playing in the reserve team at Essendon.
Cummings was selected at pick #20 in the 1992 AFL Draft from Swan Districts in the West Australian Football League as a strong full forward. Essendon originally received this pick after trading Richard Ambrose, Ed Considine and Michael Werner for it.
Cummings made his AFL debut in 1994 against Sydney, kicking eight goals and earning himself an AFL Rising Star nomination. Cummings went on to kick 32 goals in his 10 matches for the year and was the leading goalkicker for Essendon. Despite a strong start to his career, Cummings' performance throughout 1995 and 1996 was inconsistent, in part as a result of being played out of position. As a full-forward, he was still capable of strong performances, such as his game against Footscray in Round 8, 1996 where he kicked eight goals. Cummings final game for Essendon was the 1996 Preliminary Final loss to Sydney.
