Lo Scorpione (in latino Scorpius, abbreviato in Sco) è una costellazione dello zodiaco; si trova tra la Bilancia ad ovest e il Sagittario ad est. L'eclittica transita solo nella parte superiore della costellazione, entrando nell'Ofiuco prima di arrivare al Sagittario. Essendo una delle più brillanti costellazioni del cielo, si individua con estrema facilità ed è uno dei principali riferimenti nel cielo stellato.
