Scott Fujita (born in April, 1979 in Ventura County, California) is an American football player who is currently a linebacker for the National Football League's New Orleans Saints. He is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, earning a BA in political science in 2001 and a MA in education in 2002.

Although Fujita's last name is Japanese, by race he is Caucasian, as he is the adopted son of Rodney Fujita (who is Japanese} and his wife Helen (who is Caucasian).

Fujita grew up in a traditional Japanese household (celebrating Japanese festivals and holidays, eating with chopsticks, and his grandparents have several bonsai trees on their property). Because of his upbringing, he considers himself Japanese.

Fujita knows very little about his birth parents (he states he would like to know more, especially when he and his wife, Jaclyn, become parents), but states that he holds no grudge. He states that if he were to meet his mother, he would tell her "thank you" for placing him for adoption, stating that he "could've been an abortion statistic".

On March 13, 2006, Fujita signed with the Saints, reuniting with his former position coach as well as offensive coordinator (now head coach Sean Payton).
