Scott James Wootton (/ˈwʊtən/ WUUT-ən; born 12 September 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Perth Glory in the A-League.

Wootton also gained three caps for the England U17 national team.

Born in Birkenhead, Wirral, Wootton began his career with Tranmere Rovers before joining Liverpool at the age of 13. After making his under-18s debut at the age of 14, he left Liverpool for Manchester United two years later. After captaining the academy team in 2009–10, he was promoted to the reserves for the 2010–11 campaign, where he became a regular player in the early part of the season.

On 30 September 2010, he joined Tranmere Rovers on a month's loan.

He made his debut on 2 October 2010, scoring a late equalising goal in the 1–1 draw with Brighton. He went on to make five appearances for the club while on his loan spell. He re-joined the club on 25 November on a second loan spell. His first confirmed league goal came on his second debut for Rovers on 11 December against Leyton Orient.

Wootton made his Manchester United senior debut in Gary Neville's testimonial game in May 2011. He came on to replace Neville in the 85th minute of the match. On 1 July 2011, Wootton joined teammate Ryan Tunnicliffe at Peterborough United, with a loan contract confirmed later in the month.

Wootton made his Peterborough United debut on 20 August 2011 in a 7–1 win over Ipswich Town. On 23 January 2012, he returned to Manchester United after having his loan spell terminated.

Wootton completed a loan switch to Championship side Nottingham Forest on the 31 January 2012 deadline day, where he remained on loan until the end of the season.
