Ross Milton Stanford DFC, OAM (25 September 1917 – 11 July 2006) was a South Australian first class cricketer who served in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as a pilot during the Second World War, flying Avro Lancaster heavy bombers over Europe. During his military career, Stanford flew 47 operational missions and served in the famed No. 617 Squadron RAF. He also represented the Australian Services XI at cricket, playing games in England, India, Ceylon and Australia before being demobilised in 1946. In civilian life, Stanford ran his own market garden business, worked for the State Bank of South Australia and had an unsuccessful political career. He was also known for his charity work in Adelaide.
