Scott Thomas Leius (born September 24, 1965 in Yonkers, New York) is a former American League baseball player during the 1990s.

Leius was a late season call up by the Minnesota Twins and debuted with the parent club on September 3, 1990. Leius would remain with the Minnesota Twins through the 1995 season when he left for the Minnesota Twins' American League rival, the Cleveland Indians where he spent just one season, 1996. After that one season in Cleveland, Leius was out of Major League Baseball for the 1997 season. Afterwards, Leius went onto the Kansas City Royals where he spent two seasons, 1998 and 1999 before his career ended on July 3, 1999.

His highest yearly salary was paid out in 1995 while Leius was with the Minnesota Twins and amounted to $760,000 USD. This payout for Leius was a result his 1994 season in which he posted career highs in runs [57] , home runs [14] , RBIs [49] and tied his career high in slugging percentage [.417] .
