Stephen Bennett (born 8 October 1995) is an Irish hurler who plays as a centre-forward for the Waterford senior team.

Born in Ballysaggart, County Waterford, Bennett first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Blackwater Community School. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Waterford minor team before later joining the under-21 side.[1] Bennett played wing forward in 2013 as Waterford won the All Ireland minor title for the first time since 1948. Three years later, he was part of the same team that captured the county's second All Ireland U-21 title, again beating Galway. He made his senior debut during the 2014 championship.[2] Bennett has since become a regular member of the starting fifteen and has won one National Hurling League medal.

At club level Bennett is a one-time Munster medallist in the junior grade with Ballysaggart. In addition to this he has also won one championship medal in the same grade.

His brother, Shane, also plays with Waterford.[3]
