Stuart Dickinson (born 19 July 1968) is a former Australian rugby referee. He made his international refereeing debut in 1997 in a Rugby World Cup qualifier between Tahiti and the Papua New Guinea.
A year later he was the referee for the international between Wales and South Africa at Wembley. He was a referee at the 1999 Rugby World Cup in Wales, the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia and the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France. He is Australia's most-capped referee and the only Australian referee to appear at three World Cups. He has recently been confirmed as part of the eight-man core panel of referees for the 2010 Super Rugby.
Dickinson commenced refereeing at the age of 12, while also playing fly-half and fullback for Epping Boys' High School. He has been employed full time with the ARU since 1996. Prior to 1996, he worked as a site manager for LinFox, a transport company as well as with the NSW Police Force. He currently resides in Sydney with his wife and three children.
Dickinson was publicly criticised by IRB referees manager Paddy O'Brien in 2009 for his refereeing of the scrums in the Italy v New Zealand Test Match at the San Siro Stadium in Milan on 14 November 2009. O'Brien stated that Dickinson had got it "completely wrong", believing the Italian tight-head prop, Martin Castrogiovanni was boring in on his opposite. In 2010, Dickinson was rated in the Top 3 SANZAR Referees after being appointed to the Super Rugby semi-final in Soweto.
He announced his retirement from refereeing on 27 September 2011.[1]
