Dean Winstanley (born February 10, 1981) is an English darts player.

Winstanley won the German Open, England Open, and Belgium Open in 2010. As a result of his performances on the BDO circuit, he qualified for the 2010 Winmau World Masters as the fourth seed. He defeated Stewart Rattray in the last 16 before losing to Martin McCloskey in the quarter-finals.

Winstanley also qualified for the 2011 BDO World Darts Championship as the third seed. In the first round, he survived two match darts against Martin Atkins before winning 3-2. He then defeated Robbie Green 4-1 in the second, Stephen Bunting 5-1 in the quarter-final and Jan Dekker 6-2 in the semi-finals, thus making him one of a small number of players to have reached the final at his first attempt. He was defeated 7-5 by Martin Adams in the final, having led 4-3 and 5-4. Later that year, Winstanley reached the final of the World Masters, where he was beaten 7-2 in sets by Scott Waites.

He first took up darts as a two-year-old, stopped playing at the age of 12, and then started playing again when he was 22.[1]

Winstanley is affectionately known as "the oldest 30 year old in darts" due to his physical appearance, and is a father of five.[2] He is in a relationship with female darts player Lorraine Farlam, Lorraine has 2 children Josie and Jess.
