Scott Pape OAM (born 1978) is an author, television presenter, and radio commentator. He is best known through the persona, The Barefoot Investor. Scott Pape grew up in Ouyen, Victoria, where he held odd jobs – once being paid by his father with a single BHP share. He later attended La Trobe University, receiving his Bachelor of Business degree in 2001. In 2003, Pape presented a weekly finance show for young people on SYN Radio in Melbourne.

In 2004, Pape wrote a book, The Barefoot Investor: Five Steps to Financial Freedom, which was released in Australia in November of that year. It has since been republished and revised (as recently as 2020) and is now sold throughout the world. Following the success of the book, Pape has taken on The Barefoot Investor as a persona, offering independent advice on personal money management, investing, and gaining 'financial freedom' via his website, public and media appearances, and his subscription email service "The Barefoot Blueprint."

In April 2008, he was a participant in the Australia 2020 Summit. In 2016, Scott released a new book, The Barefoot Investor: The Only Money Guide You'll Ever Need, which has become the best-selling finance book in Australia. In 2018, Pape released a financial book for children's finance titled The Barefoot Investor for Families. November 2022 saw the release of Pape's book "Barefoot Kids: Your Epic Money Adventure."
