Scott Mountain is a summit in Lane County, Oregon, in the United States.[4] The 6,103-foot (1,860 m) mountain is in the Mount Washington Wilderness region of the Willamette National Forest.

Scott Mountain and Scott Lake, in Lane County, were both named after Felix Scott Jr., a cattle rancher and businessman.[5][6][7] With the help of brother Marion Scott and other local residents, Felix Scott hired fifty or more men to build a road up the McKenzie River in 1862.[5]
