Scotland Yard er en metonym for hovedkvarteret for Metropolitan Police Service, den territoriale politistyrke ansvarlig for polititjenesten i det meste af London.
Navnet stammer fra placeringen af det oprindelige Metropolitan Police hovedkvarter på 4 Whitehall Place, som havde en bagindgang til en gade kaldet Great Scotland Yard. Scotland Yard-indgangen blev den offentlige indgang til politistationen, og med tiden blev gaden og Metropolitan Police synonyme. The New York Times skrev i 1964, at ligesom Wall Street gav sit navn til New Yorks finansdistrikt, blev Scotland Yard navnet på politiets aktiviteter i London.
