Stanley Harvey Eisen (born January 20, 1952) aka Paul Stanley, is an American rock guitarist and vocalist for the rock band KISS. His persona in the band (when they are wearing makeup) is the "Starchild."

Stanley joined the rock band Wicked Lester, formed by Gene Simmons, in the early 1970s. The band recorded an album in 1971, but as of 2005 it has never been officially released (although songs from the album appeared on KISS's 2001 box set). Wicked Lester broke up not long after, but Stanley and Simmons - along with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley, would re-form as KISS shortly thereafter. KISS released their self-titled debut in February 1974.
