Terence Stoddart (28 November 1931 – October 2014) is an English former footballer who played as a wing half in the Football League for Darlington and York City. He was also on the books of Newcastle United without playing for their first team.[1]

Stoddart was born in Newcastle upon Tyne.[1] He represented Northumberland at youth level,[2] and began his club career in Newcastle United's nursery team.[3] He played for the club's reserve team for several years,[4][5][6] but never for the first team, and in May 1954 he moved on to Third Division North club Darlington.[7] He played only infrequently over two seasons, then spent a season with divisional rivals York City, again playing rarely,[1] before moving into non-league football with Poole Town.[8]
