Stephen Roche (born November 28, 1959 in Dundrum near Dublin, Ireland) is a retired professional cyclist.

Roche scored his first professional victory by beating Bernard Hinault in the Tour of Corcisa.
By the end of his career Roche was said to be unable to properly address his pedal on any axis and in retirement described riding the 1993 Tour de France as "just for fun".
At the close of the 1987 season, Roche announced a change in team from Carrera to Fagor bringing with him an apparently hand-picked selection of team mates including the English riders Sean Yates, Malcolm Elliot, multiple Tour de France King of the Mountains winner Robert Miller and loyal domestique Eddy Schepers.
