Stuart R. Saunders (1880 – 6 January 1950) was a Canadian first-class cricketer.
Saunders was born in Canada in 1880. He studied at McGill University and was a member of the Toronto Cricket Club.[1] He made a single appearance in first-class cricket, captaining a combined Canada and United States of America cricket team against the touring Australians at Toronto in 1913.[2] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 10 runs by Arthur Mailey in the Canada/United States first innings, while following-on in their second innings he was unbeaten on 9, with the Australians winning the match by an innings and 147 runs.[3] It was noted by Wisden that "he did much to help the game in Canada" and that he toured England with Canadian sides.[4] Saunders died at Toronto in January 1950.
