Stephan Markus Cabizares Schröck (born 21 August 1986) is a German-Filipino professional footballer who is currently plays for Ceres–Negros F.C.. He represented Germany at various youth levels before switching to the Philippines. He has also played in the Bundesliga and had stints with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt. He is a midfielder that can also operate as a full back and has also been deployed as a winger.

Schröck started at SpVgg in 2001, going through the junior teams and made the leap into the professional squad in the 2004–05 season. In April 2008, Schröck signed a two-year contract extension with Greuther Fürth. Two years later, in March 2010, Schröck again extended his contract for another two years. Although he revealed that he could have gone to five other clubs with better financial benefits, he chose to stay to repay the backing that the club has always shown him. He also wanted to reach the Bundesliga with the club and believed it would be an achievable target before his contract expired. In the 2011–12 season, his final year at the club, he helped the team win the league title and gain promotion to the Bundesliga.

In late March 2012, Schröck signed a three-year deal with Bundesliga side TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. He made his debut in a 4–0 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt but was sent off after 74 minutes. Schröck started and put up a great performance against league leaders Bayern Munich on March 3, 2013. He came as close as anyone to scoring for Hoffenheim with a lovely shot which Starke saved well.
