Gary Stevens (born 10 October 1972) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Stevens was the second member of a Waaia family to play in the AFL, after his elder brother Anthony. A third brother, Michael, also played in the league. [1]

He won a Morrish Medal in the 1991 AFL Under 19s Competition, the last before the formation of the TAC Cup.

In the 1992 AFL season, Stevens made four senior appearances. [2] Sydney lost all four of those games as well as the only other game he played in 1993, meaning he never got to celebrate a win while with the Swans. [2]

He later played for Tatura in the Goulburn Valley Football Netball League.
