William Scott Wilkinson, known as W. Scott Wilkinson (February 5, 1895 – June 19, 1985), was an attorney in Shreveport, Louisiana, who served a single term as a Democrat from Caddo Parish in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1920 to 1924 during the administration of Governor John M. Parker.
Wilkinson was born in Coushatta, the parish seat of Red River Parish, south of Shreveport, to John Dallas Wilkinson (1867-1929) and the former Alice Mai Scott (died 1956), the daughter of a judge, Nelson Jackson Scott. His younger sister, Alice Mai Wilkinson, died in 1907 at the age of eleven. He had an older brother, John Pugh Wilkinson. The senior Wilkinson was also an attorney, first in Coushatta and later in Shreveport, and a member of the Louisiana Constitutional Convention in 1898.
In 1912, Wilkinson graduated from Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1915, he received a Bachelor of Arts from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where he was president of his senior class. He obtained his law degree in 1917 from Louisiana State University Law Center.
