Scott River East is a rural locality of the Shire of Nannup in the South West region of Western Australia, located along the Scott River and on the Indian Ocean coast. The eastern part of the locality is covered by Hilliger National Park while a small section of the western-most part of D'Entrecasteaux National Park also extends into it. Apart from those two national parks, it is also home to a number of nature reserves.[2][3]

Scott River East and the Shire of Nannup are located on the traditional land of the Bibulman and Wardandi people of the Noongar nation.[4][5][6]
