Stanley E. Porter (born 1956) is an American academic specializing in New Testament studies and the grammar of Koine Greek.

He studied at Point Loma College, San Diego, (B.A.), Claremont Graduate School, Claremont, California (M.A.) Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois (M.A.) and earned his Ph.D. at the University of Sheffield 1988.[1] From 1994 he was Professor of Theology and Head of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at Roehampton University, London. He is currently president, dean and professor of New Testament at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario,[2] and senior editor of Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism.[3]

He is particularly noted for his works on verbal aspect in New Testament Greek. He is a proponent for Greek verbal aspect being regarded as a major semantic category in the analysis and exegesis of Greek texts, recognising three aspects: perfective, imperfective and stative.[4] However he also is known for an approach that recognises the common Hellenistic heritage of many so-called semitic verb aspect uses in the New Testament, except where reference to the Septuagint is clear.[5]

Andy Naselli notes that Porter "is the author or editor of publications on just about every significant area of NT studies."[6]
