Jeffrey Scott Buckley (raised as Scott Moorhead; November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997) was an American musician. After a decade as a session guitarist in Los Angeles, Buckley amassed a moderate following in the early 1990s performing at venues in East Village, Manhattan such as Sin-é. After rebuffing interest from record labels and Herb Cohen—the manager of his father, singer Tim Buckley—he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and released his only studio album, Grace, in 1994.

Buckley toured extensively to promote Grace, including concerts in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia. In 1996, sporadic attempts were made to record Buckley's second album My Sweetheart the Drunk in New York City with Tom Verlaine as the producer. In 1997, Buckley resumed work after moving to Memphis, Tennessee, recording four-track demos and playing weekly solo shows in downtown Memphis.

On May 29, 1997, while awaiting the arrival of his band from New York, Buckley drowned while swimming in the Wolf River, a tributary of the Mississippi. Posthumous releases include a collection of four-track demos and studio recordings for My Sweetheart the Drunk, as well as reissues of Grace and the Live at Sin-é EP. In 2008, Buckley’s cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" became his first number one on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs and reached number two in the UK singles chart. Rolling Stone included Grace in its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and included Buckley in its list of the greatest singers.
