Scott Circle is a traffic circle in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., at the junction of Massachusetts Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue, and 16th Street, N.W. N Street stops short of meeting the circle from either direction, but is instead connected to Rhode Island and Massachusetts avenues through two short streets, Corregidor Street and Bataan Street.

The through lanes of 16th Street pass under Scott Circle in a tunnel that opened on December 29, 1941. The service lanes of 16th Street intersect the circle.

The embassies of Australia and the Philippines are located on Scott Circle.

A statue of Winfield Scott (photo) was erected in Scott Circle in 1874. Statues of Daniel Webster (photo) and Samuel Hahnemann (photo)can be found on the periphery of the circle.
