Scott Shearer (born 15 February 1981) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Mansfield Town as a goalkeeper.
Born in Glasgow, Shearer began his career in Scotland with Albion Rovers. The staff at the club moved him on to amateur side Tower Hearts to get some game time and experience under his belt, as they felt he wasn't a good enough competitor to frequently break into the starting XI, despite making quite a few appearances in the first team before his move. After plenty of time at Tower Hearts, he was called back to Albion. During the remaining time he spent at the club, he went on to make dozens of appearances for the Scottish side, most notably scoring a last minute equaliser at Hampden Park against Queen's Park.
Not long after his goalscoring heroics at Hampden Park, he was snapped up by Coventry City. During his first season as a Sky Blue, he consistently thawed into the starting squad, making 30 league appearances and gaining considerable amounts of playing experience. Mainly because of his call up to Scotland B, the secondary team of Scotland, although it was to be his only appearance to date for the side. However, despite his reliance in the previous season, he only managed to scrape eight appearances for Coventry in a year that saw him countlessy play for different clubs. He had lost his starting place to Luke Steele. His last game played for the club was a 3–2 victory away from home at Vicarage Road, the back yard of Watford.
Towards the final quarter of the season, Shearer was twice loaned out to Rushden & Diamonds. It was quite a short time overall with the club, put the duration of it was fruitful to Shearer as he played in the majority of the matches, accumulating a total of 13 appearances for the Diamonds.
