Mount Scott is an extinct volcanic cinder cone in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States. Its summit rises 1,093 feet (333 m) above sea level.[1] Part of the Boring Lava Field, a zone of extinct volcanoes in the Portland, Oregon area, it was named for Harvey W. Scott, 19th and 20th century editor of The Oregonian newspaper.[2]

The mountain is developed, with most of its southern flank within the city of Happy Valley, Oregon. The Willamette National Cemetery is located on the northeastern slope of the mountain.
