It is shown that in ultrahigh-energy inelastic neutrino-nucleon(nucleus) scattering the cross sections for the boson-hadron(nucleus) reactions should exhibit geometric scaling on the single variable {tau}{sub A}=Q{sup 2}/Q{sub sat,A}{sup 2}. The dependence on energy and atomic number of the charged/neutral current cross sections are encoded in the saturation momentum Q{sub sat,A}. This fact allows an analytical computation of the neutrino scattering on nucleon/nucleus at high energies, providing a theoretical parameterization based on the scaling property.
