Reverend Stanley St John Redwood (born 3 March 1965) is a Jamaican minister and former politician from the People's National Party. He was the 10th President of the Senate of Jamaica, serving from 18 January 2012 to 10 May 2013.
A former Moravian minister and the founder of the New Holland Church, Redwood served in leadership positions within several universities before entering politics. After unsuccessful bids for a seat in the Jamaican House of Representatives in 2002 and 2007, he was appointed to the Senate after the 2011 general election. Redwood's decision to resign from the Senate and emigrate to Canada with his family in May 2013 was controversial, although Redwood promised to return to Jamaica after settling his family abroad.
