Richard Gordon Scott (born November 7, 1928) is an American nuclear engineer and a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Scott was sustained to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on October 1, 1988 and was ordained an apostle on October 6, 1988 following the death of Marion G. Romney. As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, Scott is accepted by the church as a prophet, seer, and revelator.

In 2007, Scott wrote "Finding Peace, Happiness and Joy", his first book written as an apostle. It carries on many themes from his talks such as repentance and finding happiness through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

Previous to being an apostle, Scott was a nuclear engineer who did advanced studies at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the United States Department of Energy and later worked in Naval Reactors for Hyman G. Rickover. He studied at George Washington University.

Born in Pocatello, Idaho, Scott grew up in Washington, D.C., served a mission to Uruguay as a young man, and later returned to South America to serve as president of the Argentina North Mission of the church.
