Stanley Jason Rapert (born April 3, 1972) is an American politician from the state of Arkansas. A member of the Republican Party, he was a member of the Arkansas State Senate from 2011 to 2023, representing the 18th district and then the 35th district.

In 1990, Rapert married Laurie Ellen Tyler of Pocahontas in Randolph County and a member of the Jarrett Tribe Family. The couple moved to Conway, where they both attended the University of Central Arkansas, where he majored in Political Science and Sociology. He worked for United Parcel Service while attending college.

Rapert is the founder and president of Holy Ghost Ministries. A 2012 profile in a local newspaper reported that he made annual missionary visits to Ghana.

Rapert was elected in 2010 to the Arkansas State Senate, representing the 18th district. As a result of decennial redistricting, he sought reelection in the 35th district in 2012, when he defeated Democrat Linda Tyler. In the general election held on November 4, 2014, Rapert won a four-year term in the state Senate by defeating Democrat Joel Pearson, 13,483 votes to 10,267.

Rapert is a member of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Rapert has embraced the label of Christian nationalist. In 2019, Rapert founded the National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL), a far-right group that seeks to dismantle separation of church and state. In an interview in 2023, Rapert described America as a country that had "reached a level of debauchery and immorality that is at biblical proportions." He recruited influential figures of the Christian right, including Mike Huckabee, Bob McEwen, and Tony Perkins, to join the group's advisory board.

In 2017, Rapert introduced legislation to remove the names of the Clintons from the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock.

Rapert supports banning abortion without exceptions for rape, incest, or the health of the mother.
