Scott Stevens (born 15 January 1982 in Perth, Western Australia) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League. Stevens attended Wesley College, Perth and played in the WAFL with Perth before being recruited to the Sydney Swans, where he made his AFL debut in 2002. Stevens is considered to be one of the slowest players in the AFL, but he has brilliant skills with both foot and hand, rarely missing a target; this results in his nicknames of "Goldenboots" and "Sixpoints".

After four years on Sydney's list, Stevens was traded to the Adelaide Crows for the 2004 season. After a solid first year at his new club, foot and shoulder injuries kept him sidelined for the entire 2005 season and 2006 pre-season. He returned to the side in Round 2 but did not perform and was dropped again. In round 7, however, he was given another chance and this time succeeded in becoming a regular player, playing all bar one of the remaining games and averaging over 18 disposals at centre half-back.

Stevens played every game in 2007, stationed in a variety of positions. However, former Adelaide coach Malcolm Blight criticised Stevens' skills when under pressure. In 2008, Stevens capped off another consistent season by coming 8th in the AFC Club Champion award, and kicking six goals in the elimination final loss to Collingwood.

In 2009, Stevens continued to be a reliable member of the Adelaide side. The absence of regular centre half-back Nathan Bock through suspension and injury led to Stevens being played more in defence, a role that Stevens performed admirably, and he was able to kick goals when required in the forward line.
