Ron Stanton (1928−2012) was an Australian professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1950s. A Queensland representative halfback and a key member of the Brisbane Rugby League premiership-winning Eastern Suburbs side of 1950, he joined the New South Wales Rugby Football League's St. George club for one year in 1952. Towards the end of the season, Stanton suffered a career-ending leg injury and retired from playing.[1] In 1953, he returned to Brisbane to coach the Souths Club at Gordonvale, Queensland.[2]
