Scott Innes (born October 1, 1966) is an American voice actor, author, songwriter and radio personality.

Innes became known as the new official voice of Scooby-Doo between 1998 and 2002 because of Don Messick's death in 1997. From 1999 to 2002, he was also the official voice of Scooby's best friend and owner Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. He was replaced by Frank Welker (as Scooby) and by Casey Kasem (as Shaggy) in 2002, though Innes still provided the voices in all types of video game projects and some commercials until 2009. He also voiced Scrappy-Doo in the live action movie Scooby-Doo (2002).

He voiced Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble in a Toshiba commercial from 2002 and even voiced Astro from the Jetsons in a 2003 series of Radio Shack commercials. Innes auditioned to replace the retired Casey Kasem to return as Shaggy for the television series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, but he lost the role to Matthew Lillard, who previously portrayed Shaggy in the 2002 film.

He wrote the song, "Handprints on the Wall", which was recorded by Kenny Rogers.

In-between his voice acting duties, Innes was the afternoon air personality at Country outlet WYNK-FM/Baton Rouge, Louisiana from 1997-2011, and joined nearby station WRKN in the same position on April 21, 2016. Innes is currently the publisher and author of Hug magazine.
