James Winter Scott (26 May 1799 – 4 January 1873)[1] was a British Whig politician from Hampshire.

On 24 January 1828, he married Lucy Jervoise, daughter of Sir Samuel Clarke Jervoise: Scott's brother-in-law, Jervoise, was an MP for the neighbouring South Hampshire seat.

Scott was elected at the 1832 general election as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the newly created Northern division of Hampshire.[2][3] He was re-elected in 1835,[4] but retired from the House of Commons at the 1837 general election.[2][5] He made no recorded contribution to debates.[6]

He was nominated as High Sheriff of Hampshire in 1861[7] and in 1862,[8] and after a third nomination in 1863[9] he was appointed to the office in 1864,[10] when his address was given as Rotherfield Park, Alton.[11]

Scott and his wife had eight children. The family lived at Rotherfield Park, East Tisted.
