Scott Mitchell (born 5 June 1970) is an English darts player. Who plays in British Darts Organisation events and also acts as a regular commentator for televised BDO coverage.
Before he made his mark in the BDO, Mitchell qualified for the 2007 UK Open, winning his first round match 8-4 against Brian Cathcart before losing out in the second round to 2006 Lakeside World champion Jelle Klaasen. Mitchell won the England Classic and Swiss Open in 2009 which helped him qualify for the 2010 BDO World Championship as the 14th seed. However, he lost in the first round 3-2 to Northern Ireland's Daryl Gurney. Mitchell retained his Swiss Open title in 2010 and also won the Center Parcs Masters, and qualified for 2011 BDO World Championship as the 15th seed, however he was beaten in the first round 3-0 by Dutch qualifier Jan Dekker.
Mitchell was once again beaten in the first round at Lakeside in 2012, losing to defending champion Martin Adams who won the match 3-0. A year later, Mitchell was drawn to play Mark Barilli in a match that guaranteed the winner would reach the second round at the fourth time of asking while the loser would have lost their first four matches at the world championship. After trailing 2-1 and surviving darts in the fourth set that would have seen Barilli throw for the match, Mitchell won 3-2 and was visibly emotional on stage afterwards. In the next round, Mitchell was beaten by Robbie Green 4-1.
Mitchell started 2014 at Lakeside again reaching the second round for the second year running by beating Paul Hogan 3-2 in the first round. He was beaten by second seed James Wilson 4-2.
