Stanley Tomkinson (5 June 1907 – 12 August 1969) was a New Zealand cricket umpire. He stood in two Test matches, one in 1951 and the other in 1955.[1]
Tomkinson was a prominent player as a batsman for the Grange club in Dunedin senior cricket before he took up umpiring.[2] In all, he umpired 18 first-class matches between January 1948 and January 1957. All but one, the Test match in Christchurch in 1951, were played at Carisbrook, Dunedin.[3] In the Christchurch Test, Tomkinson gave the English batsman Cyril Washbrook out leg before wicket, but reversed his decision a moment later after the New Zealand captain, Walter Hadlee, told him the ball had touched Washbrook's bat before hitting his pads.[4]
