Stephen Allender (born July 24, 1960) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Sydney Swans and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.
Allender was recruited to the VFL on the back of his strong performance for Port Melbourne in 1980, where he won the J. J. Liston Trophy and played in a premiership team. A ruckman or key forward, Allender spent a season at South Melbourne before making the move with the club to Sydney. He joined Hawthorn in 1984 but couldn't establish a place in their strong side and returned to Port Melbourne.
