Stanley Louis Dragland CM (December 2, 1942 – August 2, 2022) was a Canadian novelist, poet and literary critic. A longtime professor of English literature at the University of Western Ontario, he was most noted for his 1994 critical study Floating Voice: Duncan Campbell Scott and the Literature of Treaty 9, which played a key role in the contemporary reevaluation of the legacy of poet Duncan Campbell Scott in light of his role as deputy superintendent of the Department of Indian Affairs.
