Stanley Joseph Ott, S.T.D., (June 29, 1927 – November 28, 1992) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Baton Rouge from 1983 until his death in 1992. Stanley Ott was the cousin of Mel Ott and celebrated the Funeral Mass for Elmo Patrick Sonnier, a convicted murderer who was buried near the graves of bishops.
Stanley Ott was born in Gretna, Louisiana, the youngest of three children of Manuel Peter Оtt and his wife, Lucille Berthelot. He was a second cousin of Mel Ott, a New York Giants outfielder and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He received his early education at the parochial school of St. Joseph's Church in Gretna, where he also served as an altar boy. He then attended St. Aloysius High School in New Orleans. Following his graduation from St. Aloysius in 1944, he decided to study for the priesthood instead of entering the military service.
Ott attended St. Joseph Seminary College in Covington before entering Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. He continued his studies in Rome at the Pontifical North American College, where he studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University.
