Stan Rule (17 January 1924 – 12 August 2007)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Rule, a Victorian interstate representative in 1949, was used as both a follower and defender at Melbourne.[2] In their 1948 premiership team he was the former, while in 1946 he played from the back pocket in a losing Grand Final.

He went to Wodonga in 1951, as captain-coach.[3] Rule then coached Holbrook Football Club in the Albury & District Football League from 1954 to 1955, leading them to a famous 1955 premiership win.[4]
