Scott Harrison (born 18 September 1973) is a British novelist, scriptwriter, playwright and film writer. Between 2002 and 2005 he was writer-in-residence for the York-based professional theatre company The Dreaming. He also co-produced, and occasionally acted in, several of its productions.

He has written Star Trek books for Simon & Schuster and tie-in novels for games developer Capcom, as well as a number of audio plays and novels for various Big Finish Productions. Between 2012 and 2014, he edited a range of short-story anthologies.

In April 2014, his audio play Sometime Never, starring Simon Jones and Rosalyn Landor, won the Best Drama Award in New York, while in May of the same year, the portmanteau audio horror anthology, THIRTEEN, which Harrison devised, edited and wrote the narrating story for, won an Audie Award for best Original Work.
