Stanley Rankin Robb was an American football lineman and end who played one season in the National Football League (NFL) for the Canton Bulldogs. A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he attended Peabody High School and Mercersburg Academy, after which he played college football for the Centre Praying Colonels (1920) and West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcats (1921). Robb began his professional football career in 1922, splitting the year between the Holmesburg Athletic Club and Philadelphia Quakers. He played the 1923 season with the Clifton Heights Orange & Black before joining the Pottsville Maroons for their Anthracite League championship year in 1924. Robb joined the Canton Bulldogs, coached by his brother Harry, in 1926, playing what would be his only three games in the NFL while scoring one touchdown. He later returned to Clifton Heights to finish his career.
