Scott Christopher Williams (born March 21, 1968) is a retired American professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association. Standing at 6' 10", he was capable of playing as a power forward or a center. Williams contributed off the bench during the Chicago Bulls' first three-peat championships (1991-93) early in his professional career. He developed into a front court reserve journeyman during his ten-plus seasons in the NBA, where he was known for his hustle and strong defense. Since his retirement, Williams has coached in the NBA Developmental League and NBA as well as commentating for a variety of NBA teams. Williams is currently the color analyst for the Grand Canyon Antelopes men's basketball team. Scott has a daughter, (Ava Williams) and a son (Ben Williams).

Williams attended and played basketball for Glen A. Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights, California. He led the 1986 squad to the 1986 C.I.F State Championship Title. Williams was named a McDonald's All-American in 1986 before enrolling into the University of North Carolina.

Williams' parents died on October 15, 1987, when his father shot and killed his mother in their garage, then turned the gun on himself. He was 19 years old, and was in his sophomore year at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; coach Dean Smith notified him of the tragedy.

Growing up, Williams was a passionate Los Angeles Lakers fan.

Undrafted in 1990 after four years in college, Williams signed with the Chicago Bulls in 1990, playing four seasons with the team, mostly as a reserve, and winning three championship rings in his first three NBA seasons. On 7 June 1991, in game 3 of the finals against the Lakers, in Los Angeles, he scored four points (all from the free throw line), grabbed two rebounds and handed out two assists in only 11 minutes of play, in an eventual 104–96 overtime win.
