Stanley Calef Wilson (September 10, 1879 – October 5, 1967) was an American politician from Vermont. He served as the 56th Lieutenant Governor of Vermont from 1929 to 1931 and the 62nd Governor of Vermont from 1931 to 1935.
Stanley C. Wilson was born in Orange, Vermont on September 10, 1879. He graduated from Tufts University in 1901, studied law while working as Deputy Clerk of the Washington County Court and Reporter for the Vermont House of Representatives, and became an attorney.
A Republican, Wilson served in the Vermont House of Representatives from 1915 to 1917. In 1917 he served as Speaker following the resignation of John E. Weeks, who was appointed Director of State Institutions.
From 1917 to 1923 Wilson served as Judge of the Washington County Court.
In 1925 he returned to the Vermont House, holding office until 1927.
Wilson served in the Vermont Senate from 1927 to 1929.
In 1928 Wilson was elected Lieutenant Governor, and he served from 1929 to 1931.
In 1930 he won election as Governor and served two terms, 1931 to 1935. Wilson's two terms were marked by efforts to recover from the Flood of 1927, and to deal with the effects of The Great Depression.
After leaving the governor's office Wilson practiced law in Chelsea with F. Ray Keyser, Sr., Deane C. Davis and J. Ward Carver. Their firm is regarded as Vermont's best ever collection of legal talent, producing two Governors (Wilson and Davis), one state Attorney General (Carver), and one state Supreme Court Justice (Keyser).
