Stanley Archibald Penberthy (3 June 1906 – 31 March 1989) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray and Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Penberthy, a follower, played 81 games at Subiaco between 1927 and 1931.[1] Amongst his seven interstate appearances for Western Australia were games at the 1930 Adelaide Carnival.[1] He also played cricket for Subiaco.[2]

In 1932 he left the state and joined Footscray, with whom he would spend five and a half seasons.[3] He captained Footscray in 1936 and for the early rounds of the 1937 season, before playing out the year with Melbourne.[4] His last league game was a preliminary final, which Melbourne lost to Collingwood.[3]
