Scott Wheeldon is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays for Featherstone Rovers in the Betfred Championship. He is a prop forward, and product of Hull F.C.'s academy ranks.

Wheeldon made his Super League début in 2006. In the same year, he appeared for Hull FC in the 2006 Super League Grand final, playing from the interchange bench in his side's 4-26 loss to St. Helens.[4]

Wheeldon then went on to sign for local rivals Hull Kingston Rovers in 2008 and made his début in the Robins home game against Celtic Crusaders. Wheeldon transferred to London Broncos in 2012 and spent two seasons there before joining Castleford Tigers in 2014.[5] He featured for the Tigers in the 2014 Challenge Cup final. In 2014 Wheeldon was voted the best player of table 21 at the Castleford Tigers end of year player awards.

In November 2015, it was announced that Wheeldon had signed for Sheffield Eagles on a 3-year deal. However, two seasons later he was released having played over 50 games and scoring 12 tries.

Following his release by the Eagles, Wheeldon joined their Championship rivals Featherstone Rovers in October 2017.[6]
