Scott Alan Eyre (born May 30, 1972 in Inglewood, California) is a left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies. Eyre's brother, Willie, is also a pitcher in the major leagues, currently pitching for the Texas Rangers. They also have another, younger brother, Robert Grace, who is playing in the minor league system of the San Francisco Giants. All three are pitchers.

Eyre graduated from Southern Idaho Junior College and was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 9th round in by|1991. In by|1994, he was traded to the Chicago White Sox and made his major league debut in Chicago on August 1, by|1997. Eyre was traded in by|2000 to the Toronto Blue Jays. Eyre was selected off waivers from the Blue Jays by the San Francisco Giants in by|2002. He spent the next several seasons as an effective reliever for the Giants.

On November 18, by|2005, Eyre signed a three-year contract with the Chicago Cubs and pitched his way to an ERA of 3.38. He was one of the more consistently used relievers on a pitching staff that often struggled. He was used mainly in 7th and 8th inning situations in tandem with Bob Howry with Eyre being used more often in lefty vs. lefty situations.

Eyre has noted that Lou Piniella could not remember his name for the longest time and called him "Stevie" for a while, jokingly, even after he learned Scott's real name. According to Cubs play-by-play broadcaster Len Kasper, Piniella has since begun intentionally pronouncing his name "Stevie Aye-er."Fact|date=September 2008

During a game against the Houston Astros on September 12, 2007, Eyre left the Cubs’ bullpen, and wandered around Minute Maid Park. WGN’s cameras eventually spotted him watching the game through an opening in the stadium’s score board. [Sullivan, Paul.

On June 15, by|2008, in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Eyre allowed a 1-out sac fly run, ending his streak of 33 consecutive appearances without allowing a run, a Cubs franchise record.

On August 5, 2008, Eyre was designated for assignment to make room for Kerry Wood, who was coming off the disabled list.
