Andrew Archibald 'Archie' Steele Scott (born 26 January 1918) is a Scottish former first-class cricketer and the oldest ever living Scottish first-class cricketer.

Scott was born in the Edinburgh suburb of Liberton. He was educated in England at Sedbergh School, attending from 1932 to 1937.[1] Prior to the Second World War, Scott enlisted in the British Army as a second lieutenant in the 78th (Lowland) Field Regiment.[2] He played for Scotland in one first-class cricket match against Ireland at Cork in 1947.[3] Batting twice during the match, Scott was dismissed for 12 runs in Scotland's first-innings by Eddie Ingram, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by the same bowler without scoring.[4] He later worked as a director of Scottish Malt Distillers.[5]

He became the oldest living person to have played first-class cricket for Scotland in June 2009, following the death of Stan Sismey.[6] In November 2010, he became the oldest known person in the United Kingdom to have passed an advanced driving test, having initially passed his driving test in 1935 in a Humber.[5] He celebrated his 100th birthday in January 2018,[1] becoming the first Scottish cricketer to have reached the landmark.
