Scott Harrington (born March 10, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman. He is currently a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL). Harrington was originally selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round (54th overall) of 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
On July 1, 2015, Harrington was traded by the Penguins to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a multi-player blockbuster deal for Phil Kessel.
Following the trade, Harrington impressed at Leafs training camp, and made the team for the opening night roster of the 2015–16 season. However, injuries plagued Harrington's season, and he would only play 32 games collectively for the Maple Leafs and Toronto Marlies.
On June 25, 2016, shortly after the conclusion of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Harrington was traded by the Maple Leafs to the Columbus Blue Jackets, marking his third NHL club in quick succession, alongside a conditional 5th round draft pick in exchange for forward Kerby Rychel. The 5th round pick is dependent on if Harrington is placed on waivers and claimed during the 2016–17 season.
He was named as one of Canada's alternate captains for the 2013 IIHF World U20 Championships in Ufa, Russia.
