Hubertus "Huub" Jozef Margaretha Stevens (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦyp ˈsteː.və(n)s]; born 29 November 1953) is a Dutch football manager and former defender.

Stevens was born in Sittard. While active, he played for Fortuna Sittard and PSV Eindhoven. During his time at PSV he won the Eredivisie three times, the KNVB Cup once and also won the UEFA Cup once in 1978. He also earned 18 caps for the Netherlands (one goal).

Soon after beginning his career as head of youth development at PSV, where he helped bring and develop players and coaches such as Nick Theslof, Stevens became head coach in 1993 with Roda JC from Kerkrade. From October 1996 to June 2002 Stevens coached Schalke 04, with whom he won the UEFA Cup in 1997 and the DFB-Pokal in 2001 and 2002. In 1999, the fans of Schalke 04 picked Stevens as trainer of the century. Afterwards, he was appointed head coach of Hertha BSC, but he was sacked on 4 December 2003. Thereafter he was hired by 1. FC Köln, which he coached from 14 June 2004 to 27 May 2005 when he signed a two–year contract with Roda. Under Stevens, 1. FC Köln became champions of the 2. Bundesliga and were promoted to the 1. Bundesliga. Stevens was at Roda until he returned to the German Bundesliga, becoming the new coach at Hamburger SV on 2 February 2007. By the time Stevens took over, the club was in the relegation zone. Results improved quite dramatically and led to Hamburg avoiding relegation and even finishing 7th in the league, thus qualifying for UEFA Intertoto Cup 2007.
