Stanton Thomas Barrett (born December 1, 1972) is an American professional driver and Hollywood stuntman. He currently drives the No. 51 Chevrolet SS for Rick Ware Racing in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series on a part-time basis.

The son of former stuntman Stan Barrett, he began NASCAR racing in the early 1990s, starting with the Busch (now Xfinity) Series in 1992. Seven years later, he started racing in the Winston Cup Series, making his series debut with Donlavey Racing. Barrett has since run part-time across NASCAR's top three series, usually as an owner/driver. Barrett has also competed in the IndyCar Series, running four races in 2009 for Team 3G.

Barrett first started racing when he was 16 in karts, winning 21 races in 28 starts. In 1992, Barrett started racing in NASCAR's Busch North Series, his debut coming at the Big Apple Food Stores 200 at Oxford Plains Speedway at the age of 19; Barrett finished 21st, eleven laps behind race winner Joe Bessey. He also ran in the NASCAR Dash Series, funding the car with money earned as a stuntman for the movie Freejack. Despite running as high as second in points, crashes relegated his final finish in the standings to sixth.

During the 1992 season, Busch Series driver Clifford Allison was killed in a crash at Michigan International Speedway, leaving a ride open for Barrett. He officially made his Busch Series debut in the Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway, finishing 26th out of 29 cars following an accident on lap 39. He made a few limited starts with his own team in the series for several years, and in his sixth career start, finished 5th at the spring race at Atlanta in 1996.
