Lewis Stevenson (born 5 January 1988) is a Scottish professional footballer, who plays for Hibernian in the Scottish Championship. He can play as a left back or a midfielder. He is currently the longest serving player at the club, having made his debut in September 2005.
Seen as a club legend, Stevenson is the only Hibs player ever to have won both the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Cup, doing so in 2007 and 2016, respectively.
Stevenson attended Balwearie High School in his home town of Kirkcaldy. He joined the Hibernian youth academy aged 14 and played for the Scotland schoolboys team in 2003. He made his competitive debut for Hibernian in a Scottish League Cup tie at Ayr United in September 2005, but did not make his first Scottish Premier League appearance until the opening day of the 2006–07 season. Stevenson became a first-team regular under the management of John Collins, and he was named man of the match in the 2007 Scottish League Cup Final victory.
Stevenson scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win against Inverness CT on 26 February 2011. The goal came after more than 100 appearances without one, and Stevenson admitted to not knowing what to do in celebration.
