Stan Magro (born 28 July 1954) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Collingwood Magpies in the VFL. He also played for South Fremantle in the WAFL.

Remembered as one of the game's finest tacklers, Magro played in four losing Grand Finals over six seasons for the Magpies, including the 1977 draw & 1979 thriller.

Later he began a career in coaching. Initially he coached East Perth and Perth in the WAFL before becoming an assistant coach for Collingwood. He then went to the Fremantle Dockers who sacked him in 1998. Magro then sued the club over lost earnings. He was after nearly $200,000 but ended up winning only $43,000 in the dispute.
