Scott Sinclair (born September 12, 1984) is a Canadian politician and former hockey player from Alberta. He has been a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta (MLA) for the riding of Lesser Slave Lake since 2023, having succeeded Pat Rehn in that year's election.
Sinclair is First Nation, and was the UCP’s only Indigenous candidate in the 2023 election.
Having been elected as a United Conservative MLA, on March 7, 2025 Sinclair was removed from the UCP Caucus over comments made criticizing the budget.
In July 2025, along with Peter Guthrie, Sinclair announced plans to form a new political party in the name of the Progressive Conservatives. Later that month, it was announced that Sinclair and Guthrie would be joining the Alberta Party and rebranding it as the Progressive Conservative Party. He continues to sit in the Legislative Assembly as an independent.
