George 'Digger' Stanley (28 February 1876 – 7 March 1919) was an English boxer who was British and European bantamweight boxing champion.

In October 1912, he successfully defended his British title against Alex Lafferty, winning on points.

However, in his next defence, in April 1914, he lost the British title to Curley Walker on a disqualification in the thirteenth.

In 1909, the National Sporting Club began awarding a Lonsdale Belt to the British champion at each weight.

Digger Stanley was awarded the first bantamweight belt and was allowed to retain it after successfully defending his British title.
