Scott McGregor (born 5 February 1976) is an Australian professional basketball player who currently plays for the Gold Coast Rollers of the Queensland Basketball League (QBL).

Born in Newcastle, New South Wales, McGregor attended the Australian Institute of Sport from 1994 to 1995.[1]

He began his NBL career with the Newcastle Falcons, where he won the NBL Rookie of the Year award. In 1997, McGregor played in the Australian Under 22's team that won a gold medal in the FIBA World Championships in Melbourne. McGregor was one of many future NBL stars, including Chris Anstey, Sam Mackinnon and Frank Drmic, to suit up in the team. After the 1997 NBL season, McGregor moved to the Sydney Kings where he would play until 2000, making the switch to Sydney's cross-town rivals. On 5 April 2007, McGregor left the struggling Razorbacks to become the first player signed by the Gold Coast Blaze.

McGregor played for the Maitland Mustangs of the Waratah League in 2007 and 2010. He played for the Gold Coast Goannas in 2009 and has played for Gold Coast Rollers since 2011.
