Stan Wattles (born July 24, 1961, in Glen Cove, New York) is a former driver in the Indy Racing League. He raced in the 1996–2001 seasons with nineteen career starts, including the Indianapolis 500 in 1998–2000. He placed eighth in two races, and led his two laps in his first, in 1996 at Walt Disney World Speedway, but never led in his other contests.
In the 1999 VisionAire 500K at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Wattles was involved in a crash that killed three spectators when debris from his car cleared the fence, and eighteen laps later, the race was cancelled.
