Charles K. Scott (born August 19, 1945) is a Republican member of the Wyoming Senate, representing the 30th district[1] since 1983. Previously he was in the House from 1979 to 1982. He received an MBA from Harvard Business School.[2]

Scott won reelection in 2016 over Democratic opponent Robert Ford 5,831-1,521 (79.3% - 20.7%).[3] In February 2022, Scott was a strong proponent for a budget amendment to eliminate the University of Wyoming Gender Studies program, stating that it was, "extremely biased, ideologically driven that I can’t see any academically legitimacy to".[4]
