Thomas Stanley "Stan" Worthington, (August 21, 1905August 31, 1973), was a cricketer who played for Derbyshire and England.

Worthington was an all-rounder: a middle order right-hand batsman and a medium-fast right-arm bowler. In neither role did he often hit the headlines, but his consistency and reliability was big factor in the unaccustomed success that Derbyshire enjoyed through the 1930s. The county, normally one of the weaker English first-class cricket teams, won the County Championship for the only time in its history in 1936.

Worthington played Test cricket nine times for England, starting with the New Zealand tour in 1929/30. His greatest success was against India in 1936, when he scored 87 at Old Trafford and 128 at The Oval. In the second game, he shared a fourth wicket partnership of 266 with Walter Hammond that remains a record for Tests between England and India. He then toured Australia and New Zealand with Gubby Allen, but an attempt to turn him into an opener was not a success, and he played no more Test cricket.

Worthington stayed for a couple of seasons after the Second World War and then played Minor counties cricket for Northumberland.

He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1937.

Worthington died at King's Lynn in 1973.
