Scott Gates (born 14 April 1988 in Wegberg, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German-born football midfielder who currently plays for Kelty Hearts. The left winger rose through the Dundee ranks from the under-12 team to the full squad.

Gates was a former pupil of Madras College in St Andrews and played for Fife side Tayport Thistle, until joining Dundee FC Youth Development Squad aged 13. He made his first-team debut on 1 October 2005 against Brechin City in a Scottish Division 1 fixture whilst still only 17. He has continued to feature in the first team and has been capped at under-17 level for Scotland.

He joined Montrose on loan in July 2007,[1] then Cowdenbeath in February 2008. He joined Arbroath on a one-year contract in May 2008 after being freed by Dundee.

On 3 March 2009, Winger Scott Gates, who was recently released by Arbroath, has signed for junior side Carnoustie Panmure. Gates, who started his career at Dundee, had a loan spell at Highland League Champions Cove Rangers earlier this season.[2] After 3 seasons, the fans favourite moved to local rivals Lochee United in 2012. Gates spent a further 3 seasons at the Bluebells before joining the East Junior Champions Kelty Hearts FC.
