Harold Seymore Scott ARIBA (5 October 1883–25 December 1945) was a noted architect best known for designing cinemas during the 1920s and 1930s.

Scott was born in Birmingham in 1883,[1] and he was to live and work here for the rest of his life. However, he designed cinema buildings across the United Kingdom. He married Doris Bailey (1890-1939) in 1910,[1][2] and with her had two sons: John Seymore Scott (1914-2012), and Harold Raymond Scott (1915-1991), both of whom, like their father, were architects. From 1911 to 1925 he was in partnership with Harold William Weedon, the two working together to design several high-quality cinemas in Warwickshire[3] including the Birchfield Picturedrome in Birchfield, completed in 1913,[4] and several upmarket houses in Warwickshire.[5] Scott was an Associate member of the Royal Institute of British Architects.[6]

On his death in 1945 he left an estate valued at £156214 7s. 7. to his two sons, his wife having predeceased him.
