Stephen Hart (born 15 March 1960) is a former Trinidadian footballer. He is the former head coach of the Trinidad and Tobago national football team.

Hart played in his native Trinidad and Tobago for Texaco in the Trinidad and Tobago Professional Football League before turning out for the San Fernando Strikers. He moved to Canada to attend Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia and starred for the school's soccer team, known as the Huskies, and local amateur side Halifax King of Donair. In 1980, he was selected to the Trinidad and Tobago national team.

Hart was technical director of Soccer Nova Scotia from 1993 to 2001 and coached Halifax King of Donair in 2000, having previously acted as their player-coach in 1988 and 1989. He has coached Canada at U-17 and U-20 levels and previously acted as assistant coach to the Canada men's senior team. In 2007, he stepped in as the senior team's interim coach and led Canada to a semi-final spot in the CONCACAF Gold Cup but was replaced by Dale Mitchell ahead of World Cup 2010 qualifying.

On 18 April 2009, Hart was named as interim head coach of the Canadian men's national team for the second time following the release of Mitchell. On 7 December 2009, he was named the full-time head coach of the senior men's national team for the first time, a position he held until two days after an 8-1 defeat in Honduras as part of the 2014 World Cup qualification process. From 2006 to 2012, he posted an international record of 20 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses for Canada.
