The International Scout is an off-road vehicle produced by International Harvester from 1960 to 1980. Created as a competitor for the Jeep CJ, the Scout was the precursor of more sophisticated SUVs, including the Ford Bronco, Chevrolet Blazer, and the later Jeep Cherokee.

The Scout was designed as an open-top two-door truck as a base vehicle with options to configure it as a station wagon, half-cab pickup truck, or a soft-top convertible.

International Harvester assembled the model line in its facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
