Scott A. McLuckey is an American chemist, the John A. Leighty Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University. His research concerns the formation of ionized versions of large biomolecules, mass spectrometry of these ions, and ion-ion reactions.

McLuckey did his undergraduate studies at Westminster College, Pennsylvania, earning a B.S. in 1978. He received his Ph.D. in 1982 from Purdue University. After a year of postdoctoral studies in Amsterdam, McLuckey joined the research staff of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he remained until 2000 when he moved to Purdue.[http://news.uns.purdue.edu/x/2008b/080922KuhnMcCoy.html Two Purdue professors to discuss their research], Purdue University, September 22, 2008.
