This article is about the English cricketer. For the American journalist, see [Stanley Scott (reporter)](/source/Stanley_Scott_(reporter)).

**Stanley Winckworth Scott** (24 March 1854 – 8 December 1933) was an English [cricketer](/source/Cricketer) who played for [Middlesex](/source/Middlesex_County_Cricket_Club).

Scott was a middle-order batsman who played fairly regularly for Middlesex from 1878 to 1893, heading the batting averages in several seasons, though by modern standards his figures appear modest. His best season was 1892, when he scored 1015 runs at an average of 39 runs per innings, and against [Gloucestershire](/source/Gloucestershire_County_Cricket_Club) at [Lord's](/source/Lord's) that season he scored 224, then regarded as a colossal score. He did well that season in both [Gentlemen v Players](/source/Gentlemen_v_Players) matches at Lord's and [The Oval](/source/The_Oval), and was named as a [Wisden Cricketer of the Year](/source/Wisden_Cricketer_of_the_Year) in 1893.

He also played [football](/source/Association_football) and played for [Clapham Rovers](/source/Clapham_Rovers_F.C.) in the [1879 FA Cup Final](/source/1879_FA_Cup_Final), losing 1–0 to the [Old Etonians](/source/Old_Etonians_F.C.).
