Scott Welsh (born 7 December, 1978) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Debuting with the Kangaroos in 1996 as a 17-year-old, Welsh was seen as a development player who started to get regular game time in 1998. He played in a premiership side with the Kangaroos in 1999, before moving back home to Adelaide to play with the Adelaide Football Club.
Welsh plays up forward and is known for his occasional devastating displays in front of goals - he has twice scored 8 goals in a match. He has sometimes been criticised for his lack of consistency but is nevertheless considered one of Adelaide's premier forwards.
In 2005 he booted 58 goals, which remains his best season in terms of goals scored to date. He also notched up his 100th game with Adelaide in 2005.
