Stanton Frederick Kalk (14 October 1894 – 6 December 1917) was an officer in the United States Navy during World War I.

He received the Navy's Distinguished Service Medal for his actions after his ship was torpedoed by a German submarine.

While steaming on patrol duty from Brest, France, to Queenstown, Ireland, Jacob Jones was attacked on 6 December by German submarine U-53.

Although Kalk, officer-of-the-deck during the attack, "took correct and especially prompt measures in maneuvering to avoid the torpedo," the destroyer could not turn in time to escape.

Though stunned by the explosion and weakened by his action after the ship went down, Kalk swam from one raft to another in an attempt to equalize weight on them.
