Harold 'Tiger' Stevenson (born 1 November 1907 London, England) was a Speedway who rode for the West Ham Hammers from 1929 until 1939 in early pioneer days, captaining the club for most of them. He was captain for their first ever meeting on 2 May 1929 at home to Coventry and was still the captain in 1937 when the Hammers won the National League Championship.[1]

When the West Ham Stadium at Custom House was demolished in 1973, one of the roads built on the site was named after Stevenson.[2]
