Jimmy Scott (July 17, 1925 in Cleveland), aka "Little" Jimmy Scott, is an American jazz vocalist.

Scott has Kallmann's syndrome, a genetic condition which stunted his growth at four feet eleven inches unltil age 37 when he grew another 8 inches to the height of five foot seven inches and prevented him reaching puberty, leaving him with a high, undeveloped voice in the contralto range, hence his nickname "Little" Jimmy Scott. Lionel Hampton gave him the stage name of "Little Jimmy Scott" because he looked so young, was short and was slight of build.

However, it was his extraordinary phrasing and romantic feeling that made him a favorite singer of fellow artists like Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Dinah Washington, and Nancy Wilson.
