Stuart Parnaby (born 19 July 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a right-back in the Football League and Premier League for Halifax Town, Middlesbrough, Birmingham City and Hartlepool United. He was most recently the assistant manager at National League North club Spennymoor Town.
Parnaby graduated from Middlesbrough's academy, playing on loan for Halifax Town in 2000 before making his Middlesbrough debut in 2002. He went on to make more than 100 appearances for Middlesbrough's first team and was part of the team that finished as runners-up in the 2005–06 UEFA Cup. Parnaby joined Birmingham City in 2007 and helped them win promotion to the Premier League as runners-up in the 2008–09 Championship. He was an unused substitute as Birmingham beat Arsenal at Wembley Stadium in the 2011 League Cup Final. After four years with the club, a time disrupted by injury, he was released at the end of the 2010–11 season. After a year without a club, Parnaby rejoined Middlesbrough in 2012 but struggled with injuries before leaving two years later. He spent a season with Hartlepool United before retiring in 2015.
