Stanley Roy Goodridge (born 28 October 1928, Kingston, Jamaica) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket for Jamaica from 1950 to 1954.

A fast bowler, Stanley Goodridge made his first-class debut for Jamaica in 1950. In his fourth match, against British Guiana, he took 5 for 73 in the second innings in a Jamaican victory.[1] Two seasons later he took 5 for 158 against British Guiana.[2] In his next match, against the touring Indians, he took 6 for 28 with "hostile and accurate"[3] fast bowling in the first innings to dismiss them for 140.[4]

He played one further match for Jamaica in early 1954 before moving to County Durham in England to play as a professional for Seaham Park in the Durham County Cricket League.[5] He played two non-first-class matches for Durham in 1956. In one, he took five wickets against Yorkshire, all of Test cricketers.[6]
