Anthony Stevens, born on 2 July 1971, is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the North Melbourne Kangaroos and was named at ruck rover in the club's official Team of the Century. Stevens was a member of the North Melbourne premiership sides of 1996 and 1999. In 1998 he was selected as an All-Australian and represented Victoria at State of Origin football, and he won the club's Best and Fairest award twice, in 1997 and 1999.
