Stuart Easton (born 21 July 1983 in Hawick) is a British professional motorcycle racer.
For the first part of 2016, Easton rode in the British Superbike Championship for Tommy Hill's Yamaha team, but was replaced by Broc Parkes from August. For the second part of the 2016 season Easton intended to race aboard a Ducati 1199 Panigale, but having competed in three events, announced in September that he would miss the last two rounds.
Affectionately known as 'Rat Boy', he won the 2002 British Supersport Championship riding for Paul Bird Motorsport Ducati team. He subsequently rode in the British Superbike Championship on Kawasaki and Hydrex Honda motorcycles, gaining his first Superbike win in 2009 at Croft. He also contested one Superbike World Championship and six Supersport World Championship events.
For 2015 Easton was contracted to ride with the Paul Bird Motorsport Kawasaki squad until November's Macau Grand Prix but, unexpectedly switched to a Yamaha provided by SMT Racing for the race in which he failed to finish.
In 2002 Easton took 7 wins en route to the Supersport title, finishing ahead of Scott Smart and Michael Laverty. He attempted to defend his title in 2003, taking 3 wins and eventually finishing runner up to future teammate Karl Harris.
