Tully Scott (July 12, 1857 – May 4, 1924) was an associate justice of the Colorado Supreme Court from 1913 to 1922, and chief justice from 1922 to 1923. From 1907 to 1911 he was a member of the Colorado Senate.

Early life and education Born in St. Paris, Ohio, but lost to Republican Samuel Nicholson.

Personal life and death In December 1891, Scott married Harriet I. Hunter of Pana, Illinois, with whom he had three children: Kempthorne Scott of Dallas, Texas; Jack Garrett Scott of Antonito, Colorado; and Mrs. Mira Scott Frank of Denver. He also had two brothers, one living in Kansas City and another in Fresno, California.

In February 1921, Scott suffered from a paralytic stroke that was so bad that he was prematurely reported by several newspapers to have died. Scott actually died at his home in Denver on May 4, 1924, at the age of 66, following complications from heart disease and his prior stroke.
