Stanley Raymond Dennison (15 June 1912 – 22 November 1992), an economist, was the third vice-chancellor of the University of Hull.
Dennison was born in North Shields, the son of a gas company clerk. He was educated at Tynemouth Municipal High School, Armstrong College, Newcastle (then part of the University of Durham), and subsequently Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was awarded a first class (division two) in Part II of the economics tripos in 1935 (one of only five students to receive a first that year – three of the others were David Bensusan-Butt, Richard Stone and D. G. Champernowne).
