Scott & Welch was an architectural partnership of Carl W. Scott (born 1887) and George W. Welch (born 1886) that was based in Salt Lake City, Utah and began in 1914. They designed schools, libraries, and other buildings that were built by New Deal programs. A number of their works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Scott was a 1907 graduate, in mining, of the University of Utah. He is credited with the idea for the Block U, made of concrete, which is a prominent icon on a hill above the university.

Welch is a Colorado College graduate who served in the Utah House of Representatives from 1919 to 1921.
