Brett Stewart (born 27 February 1985 in Wollongong, New South Wales) is a former professional rugby league player who played for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative fullback, he played his entire NRL career for the Sea Eagles, with whom he won the 2008 and 2011 Premierships.
Born and raised in Wollongong, Brett Stewart and his older brother Glenn Stewart played their junior football for the Western Suburbs Red Devils, the same Illawarra Rugby League club that produced Manly-Warringah legend and rugby league Immortal Bob Fulton.
Brett Stewart made his NRL début for the Sea Eagles on 6 July 2003 in Round 17 of the 2003 NRL season as a replacement for injured fullback Brendon Reeves. In his only first grade game of the season, Manly were defeated 24-16 against the Parramatta Eels at Brookvale Oval.
After playing from the bench in a 30-22 loss to the Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval in Round 7 of the 2004 NRL season, rookie coach and dual Manly premiership player Des Hasler moved former dual international Andrew Walker from fullback to five-eighth to bring Stewart in as the Sea Eagles custodian in Round 9 against the St. George Illawarra Dragons at Brookvale Oval.
