Ralph Stanley (born in 1927) is an American bluegrass musician.

He and his brother Carter performed as the Stanley Brothers with their band the Clinch Mountain Boys from 1946 to 1961, and as a duo from 1961 to 1966. After Carter's death in 1966, Ralph continued to perform, eventually reviving the Clinch Mountain Boys. Ricky Skaggs and Keith Whitley were among those who played in the revived band. Stanley has maintained an extensive touring schedule into 2003.
