Susan Ashley Stanton (born Steven B. Stanton in 1959) was the city manager of Largo, Florida, until her job termination. She is currently the city manager of Lake Worth, Florida.

She grew up in the Catskills (Catskill Mountains) of New York. Stanton was married to Donna Becker and they have a teenaged son named Travis. Stanton became the subject of national and international media attention in February 2007 after disclosing that she is transgender pursuing sex reassignment (sex reassignment therapy), leading Largo city commissioners to initiate the process of ending her contract as city manager, a decision which Stanton was appealing.
