Scott Mansell (born October 1, 1985 in Birmingham, England) is a British racing driver.

An alumnus of Bishop Vesey's Grammar School in Sutton Coldfield, Mansell was the 2004 EuroBOSS champion. He has not competed a full series championship since. Scott was a 2004 McLaren Autosport BRDC Award nominee, losing out to eventual winner Paul di Resta. He is not related to the 1992 Formula One world champion, Nigel Mansell.

In 2009 he was the replacement for Duncan Tappy in the Superleague Formula for Galatasaray.[1] This was his first race since the 2006 United States Grand Prix-supporting round of the Indy Pro Series.

Mansell is the current holder of the lap record for the Brands Hatch Indy circuit; 38.032 seconds, set during the 2004 EuroBOSS season.[2]

As well as the Brands Hatch record, Mansell has also broken lap records at Silverstone, Donington Park, Lausitzring and Zolder in 2004. In the same year Mansell won the BBC Midlands Young Sportsperson of the Year as well as being nominated for the Autosport Club Driver of the Year Award.
