Scott Dobie (born 10 October 1978) is a professional footballer currently playing at centre-forward for Nottingham Forest in League One. Although born in England, Dobie has played for Scotland at international level.

He has also played for Carlisle United, Clydebank (on loan), West Bromwich Albion and Millwall.

While at Carlisle, it was Dobie's goalbound header that was parried into the path of Carlisle goalkeeper Jimmy Glass, who famously scored with the last kick of the final game of the 1998/1999 season, preserving Carlisle's league status and relegating Scarborough.

Dobie's Forest career got off to a slow start and scored only 1 goal in 18 appearances. He then started to find his form, but a series of injuries, including a hip injury that required ground-breaking surgery in America, checked his progress, meaning he scored just 3 goals in the 2005-06 season.

At the start of the 2006-07 season, Colin Calderwood expressed his faith in Dobie and said his career was safe at Forest. But injury has again slowed his progress, after suffering a thigh injury on his comeback game, forcing him down the pecking order behind Grant Holt, Junior Agogo and Nathan Tyson. Most of Dobie's appearances this season have been from the subs. bench.
