Stanley Price (12 August 1931 – 28 February 2019) was a British novelist and playwright who wrote for the theatre, film, and television from the 1960s.

In 1967 his first play, Horizontal Hold, was produced by Binkie Beaumont of H. M. Tennant and had a short, but happy life in the West End at the Comedy Theatre.

His next play, The Starving Rich, a comedy set in a health clinic, never found a London home, but had two UK tours, and subsequently had many international productions.

In Germany, retitled Ein Yoghurt fur Zwei, it ran in repertory in certain regional theatres for over fifteen years, and became known as 'The Mousetrap of Mannheim'.

In 1982, Price returned to the West End with Moving which had a successful run with Penelope Keith, who later starred in the television series of the play.
