Fred Stansfield (born 12 December, 1917 in Cardiff) is a former Welsh professional footballer.

Stansfield had been playing for Grange Athletic when he joined Cardiff City in 1943. Due to World War II, he did not play a league match until 1946, making his debut on the opening day of the season in a 2-1 defeat by Norwich City. His form during the following season saw him called up for the Wales squad, winning his first cap against Scotland in October 1948. Unfortunately it turned out to be the only time he would play for his country as he suffered a broken leg three months later in a league match against Barnsley. His recovery meant he missed several months and on his return found his place in the Cardiff side taken by Stan Montgomery, who manager Cyril Spiers had signed from Southend United, and he left to join Newport County. He spent one season playing for the club before being appointed manager at Somerton Park in 1950.

After leaving football he owned a newsagents in Whitchurch, Cardiff. [ [http://www.whitchurchandllandaff.co.uk/memories_of_whitchurch__llandaf.htm "Memories of Whitchurch Llandaf"] Whitchurchandllandaff.co.uk Retrieved on 28 April, 2008]
