Scott Laycock (born 15 September 1971) is an Australian professional golfer.

Laycock won the Victorian Open in 2001 in Australia. He shot an aggregate of 270, 18 under par. This was a tournament record, but has since been broken by Min Woo Lee at the 2020 ISPS Handa Vic Open, when he shot an aggregate of 269, 19 under par.

Laycock joined the Japan Golf Tour in 2000, and won Bridgestone Open in 2002. In 2003 he played on the PGA Tour but failed to maintain his playing rights. He has featured in the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

Laycock played in the PGA Championship once and The Open Championship twice between 2002–2007; missing the cut in all three of his major championship appearances.
