Stephen Goldring (born 18 November 1932) is an English former first-class cricketer and British Army officer.

Born at Portsmouth, Goldring served in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps as a non-commissioned officer from 1960. He made one appearance in first-class cricket for the Combined Services cricket team against Oxford University at Aldershot in 1964.[1] Batting twice in the match at number 11, Goldring made unbeaten scores of 9 and 14.[2] He also bowled a total of thirteen wicketless overs across the match with his right-arm fast bowling.[2]

Goldring became a commissioned officer in November 1969, when he was promoted from staff sergeant to second lieutenant, with seniority to November 1967.[3] At the same time he was also promoted to the rank of lieutenant, with the same antedated seniority.[3] He was promoted to the rank of captain in November 1971.[4] He was awarded the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct in July 1975,[5] before promotion to the rank of major in June 1978.[6] He retired from active service in July 1987.[7]
