Oliver Peter Stone is an English cricketer. Stone is a right-handed batsman who bowls right-arm fast-medium. He was born at Norwich, Norfolk, and was educated at Thorpe St Andrew School.

Stone made his debut in county cricket for his native Norfolk against Bedfordshire in the 2011 Minor Counties Championship.

Having been a part of the Northamptonshire Cricket Academy since 2009, and played Second XI cricket for the county since 2010, Stone made his first team debut for Northamptonshire in a Twenty20 match against Durham in the Friends Provident t20. He was dismissed in the match for a first-ball duck by Paul Collingwood, the third victim of Collingwood's hat-trick. In 2012, Stone made his List A debut for the county against Warwickshire in the Clydesdale Bank 40, and his first-class debut against Yorkshire in the County Championship.
