Héctor Pedro Scarone (December 24, 1898 - April 4, 1967) was a Uruguayan football (soccer) player, the all-time leading scorer for the Uruguayan national team.
Although Scarone's international career ended in 1930, the 31 goals (in 51 matches) he scored for his country still stand as of 2005 as the national record. He won the South American Championship four times: in 1917, 1923, 1924, and South American Championship 1926, and the Olympic gold medal twice: in 1924 and 1928. He finished his international career by leading Uruguay to the 1930 FIFA World Cup.
On the club level, Scarone spent most of his career with Nacional, with whom he won the Uruguayan championship eight times. He also played for Barcelona, Inter Milan, Palermo, and Montevideo Wanderers.
After retiring as a player, Scarone coached Nacional and Real Madrid. He died in 1967 aged 68.
