Stewart Wesley Ferris (born 2 May 1927 in County Armagh; died 28 May 2001 in Ireland[1]) usually known by his middle name as Weslet Ferris[1] was an Irish cricketer.

A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-pace bowler[1], he played three times for the Ireland cricket team in 1956.[2] He made his debut in June against Scotland[2] in a first-class match[3], taking four wickets in the Scotland first innings[2] which were his only first-class wickets.[1] In August, he played a drawn two-day game against Sussex, taking the only two wickets to fall in the Sussex first innings before the game finished.[4] The following month he played his final match against the MCC[2], a first-class match[3] in which he met without success as a bowler, not taking a wicket in the match, and scoring seven runs in total in the match without being dismissed.[2]
