Basil Lavon Stanley (February 8, 1896 – July 17, 1975), nicknamed "Butch" and "Chick", was an American football player, coach of football and basketball, and college athletics administrator. He played college football at three different schools—Wabash College, the University of Notre Dame, and Saint Mary's College of California—and professionally for one season, in 1924, with the Rock Island Independents of the National Football League (NFL). Stanley served as the head football coach at the First District Agricultural School (now known as Arkansas State University) in 1924 and River Falls State Teachers College (now known as the University of Wisconsin–River Falls) in 1927. He was also the head basketball coach at the University of Arizona for one season, in 1923–24.
