Francis Goold Morony Stoney (5 April 1837 – 7 August 1897) was a Victorian era Irish engineer, noted for his work on sluice design.

[1] In 1869 he worked on the design of a double-door sluice, but suffering from poor health he was forced to return to England, where he remained invalided for about two years.

[1] At the time Stoney was employed as Chief Draughtsman for a company in Glasgow, but poor health again forced him to resign.

About 1880 he patented a double-door roller sluice, suited for graving docks, and also a rolling flap-valve, used in tidal sewage outfalls.

They had one son Edward Duncan Stoney (1868-1898) a Civil Engineer who also worked for Ransomes & Rapier in Ipswich.
