Scott MacKenzie (born July 21, 1980) is an Scottish professional snooker player who lives in Renfrewshire. His first appearance at a ranking event came at the 2004 Daily Record Players Championship. He beat James Wattana in the final qualifying round before losing 5-1 to Marco Fu in the first round proper.

The Scot appeared in the last 16 of a ranking event for the first time in his career at the 2006 China Open. He won four qualifying matches to secure a place in the tournament, culminating in a 5-2 defeat of Ian McCulloch. In Beijing, he saw off wild card Li Hang 5-2 then stunned Matthew Stevens 5-4 before losing 5-0 to eventual champion Mark Williams.

MacKenzie enjoyed a superb run in last season's UK Championship with wins over Dene O'Kane and Tom Ford in the qualifiers which set up a last 48 meeting with Michael Holt whom he defeated 9-0. That set-up a clash with reigning 888.com World Champion Graeme Dott and marked his first appearance in a televised match. MacKenzie's journey ended there as Dott ran out a 9-2 winner.The remainder of the season was a disappointment, however, as he was unable to repeat that run and fell three places in the rankings to No 63.

MacKenzie revealed that he had previously almost quit snooker and even ditched his cue. “After one particularly bad performance I threw my cue away," said the Glaswegian. "But my dad convinced me to keep trying. I borrowed a cue from Martin Dziewialtowski and that has really changed things for me.”

MacKenzie is also a part-time butcher.
