Scott Rumana (born July 18, 1964) is an American Republican Party politician, who serves in the New Jersey General Assembly, where he has represented the 40th legislative district since January 8, 2008.

Rumana has been selected to serve in the Assembly on the Education Committee and the Transportation, Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee.

In 1996 Rumana, then a Wayne councilman, was appointed to the Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders to replace Richard DuHaime, who resigned to devote time to an ultimately unsuccessful campaign for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate. Rumana won a full term as Freeholder in the 1997 general election, but his two running mates were defeated alongside him giving the Democrats the majority on the Board. Rumana ran for re-election in 2000, finishing fourth behind incumbents Jim Gallagher and Lois Cuccinello and newcomer Sonia Rosado, reducing the Republican seats on the Freeholder board to two.

The next year, Rumana defeated Chris McIntyre in the general election to become mayor of his hometown of Wayne, New Jersey. He won a second term in 2005, but resigned following his election to the General Assembly due to a recently enacted ban on dual office holding in New Jersey.

In 2006, Rumana was elected Passaic County Republican Chairman. He defeated Little Falls attorney and former U.S. Marshal Eugene Liss.

Rumana was awarded a B.A. from Hartwick College with a major in Management, and earned a J.D. from New York Law School. He is an attorney with the firm of Hunziker, Jones and Sweeney.
