Scott Bonner McLaughlin (born 20 January 1984 in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional association footballer who plays as a midfielder.
McLaughlin began his career at Hamilton Academical. He made one substitute appearance and one start, against Cowdenbeath, for Accies before moving on in 2002.
McLaughlin played a reasonable number of games at Livingston where in the 2004 Scottish League Cup Final he came on in the 80th minute as a substitute at right back against Hibernian. Livingston won 2–0 with goals by David Lilley and Jamie McAllister. McLaughlin also scored what was voted the "goal of the month" the same season with a 30-yard volley against Dundee United.
Livingston loaned him to Morton for half of the 2004–05 season. After this spell he returned to Livingston and was getting a chance to play first team football under new manager Paul Lambert. A few months into the 2005–06 season, McLaughlin signed a permanent contract with Morton.
One of the low points in his career so far was losing the play-off match against Peterhead in the 2005–06 season and missing the vital penalty in a shoot-out defeat to local rivals St Mirren in the Challenge Cup semi-final. McLaughlin played in the majority of games as Morton won the Second Division in the 2006–07 season.
