Bevan Stanislaus Chantrill (11 February 1897 – 25 February 1988) was an English international rugby union player.

Born in Barton Regis, Chantrill received his education at Bristol Grammar School and was known as "Bunny".[1]

Chantrill, a fullback, was small in stature, but a hard tackler. He was playing for Bristol when he earned his international call up and won all four caps as part of England's grand slam-winning 1924 Five Nations campaign.[2]

Emigrating to South Africa to mine gold, Chantrill played some rugby for Natal before retiring from the sport and served with the South African Air Force during World War II.[3]
