Ernest Stapleton (15 January 1869 — 14 December 1938) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 1902.
Stapleton was born in New Basford, Nottinghamshire, the son of Ernest Stapleton, a hose trimmer, and his wife Sarah.[1]
Stapleton made a cricketing appearance for the Nottinghamshire Colts against the Yorkshire Colts in 1896. He played in his first and only first-class match for Derbyshire in the 1902 season in a match in June against Marylebone Cricket Club. Stapleton, as an opening batsman, made just one run in the first innings and just two runs in the second. He was a right-handed batsman and played just that one match with a first-class run total of 3.[2]
Stapleton made no further first-class appearances but in 1909 played one match for Glamorgan in the Minor Counties Championship.
Stapleton died in Nottingham. His brothers-in-law, John and George Gunn played Test cricket for England, while his nephew, also named George Gunn played for Nottinghamshire for 22 years.
