Scott Baird (born May 7, 1951) is an American curler.[1] At 54, he is the oldest American athlete to ever participate in the Winter Olympics, which he did at the 2006 Winter Olympics.[2] Despite this feat, Baird was only the alternate for Pete Fenson's U.S. team and did not throw a stone, although he still received a bronze medal. On January 16, 2007, the team was named the 2006 USOC Team of the Year.[3]

In addition to the Olympics, Baird has skipped the U.S. team to three World Championship events (1979, 1993 & 1994), winning bronze in 1993. In 2003, Baird skipped the U.S. team to the silver medal at World Seniors Championship.[4] In 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2011, Baird was the alternate player for Pete Fenson at the World Championships.

In 2005 Baird was inducted into the United States Curling Association Hall of Fame.[5]
