Frederick William Stanley (5 November 1923 – 22 October 1993) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Otago between the 1950–51 and 1953–54 seasons.[1]

Stanley was born at Dunedin in 1923. He worked as an upholsterer.[2] Primarily a bowler who played club cricket for Kaikorai in Dunedin,[3][4] Stanley made his first-class debut for Otago in a January 1951 Plunket Shield match against Wellington at Carisbrook. Opening the bowling, he went wicketless in Wellington's first innings but took a five-wicket haul in the second innings as the side was dismissed for a score of only 82―a performance described by The Press as "brilliant bowling".[5]

He played against the touring England Test team later in the season and went on to play regularly for the representative side for four seasons, taking a total of 46 wickets, including another two five-wicket hauls.[6]

Stanley died at Dunedin in 1993. He was aged 69.[1] An obituary was published in the New Zealand Cricket Almanack in 1994.[2]
