Scott Andrew McNiven (born 27 May 1978) is an English-born Scottish footballer. He started his career at Oldham Athletic in 1995 before moving on to Oxford United in 2002. He jointly managed Hyde with Steve Halford at the end of the 2010–11 season, before returning a year later to take up the full manager's post.
Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, he progressed through the youth ranks at Oldham Athletic in the Football League where he eventually went on to make 222 appearances, before leaving in 2002 after ten years at the club. He then joined Oxford United where he stayed for two years making 85 appearances, before in 2004, he left the club and went on to play for Mansfield Town and then Chester City, but he was released by Chester in 2006 and was unable to find a new club. After his release from Chester McNiven spent time with Morecambe, Fleetwood Town and Guiseley respectively.
McNiven joined Conference National newcomers Farsley Celtic ahead of the 2007–08 season. His debut on 11 August 2007 saw him come up against his twin brother who was playing for Stafford Rangers. It was Scott who came out on top, as Farsley clinched a 1–0 win. In July 2008 Scott joined Fylde on a Free Transfer from Farsley Celtic.
