Randy L. Bott (born 1945) is a former American professor of religion at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, United States. He taught classes on missionary preparation and the Doctrine and Covenants, and wrote doctrinal and motivational literature about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Bott retired from BYU in June 2012 not long after a nation-wide controversy over an explanation regarding LDS Church doctrine that he made to the media.
