Stanley Fenley (4 January 1896 – 2 September 1972) was an English first-class cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who bowled leg break and made his first-class debut for Surrey in the 1924 County Championship against Glamorgan. Fenley represented Surrey in 116 first-class matches from 1924 to 1929, with his final first-class appearance for the county coming against Lancashire in the 1929 County Championship.

In his 116 first-class matches for the county Fenley took 345 wickets at a bowling average of 28.70, with 19 five wicket hauls, 4 ten wicket hauls in a match and best figures of 8/69 against Glamorgan in 1926. In addition Fenley took 51 catches in the field for Surrey.

He played 116 matches in the 1920s and made a brief comeback for Hampshire, aged 39. He took 346 wickets in all.

In addition to playing first-class matches for Surrey, Fenley also represented Hampshire in three first-class matches in 1935, six years after playing first-class cricket for Surrey. Fenley's debut for Hampshire came against Nottinghamshire with his final first-class match for Hampshire coming in the same season against Yorkshire.

As well as playing first-class cricket, Fenley also stood in a single first-class match as an Umpire in the 1927 match against the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force.

Fenley died at Bournemouth, Hampshire on 2 September 1972 at the age of 76.
