Stephen Pollard (born c. 1965) is a British author and journalist. He is the editor of The Jewish Chronicle.

Stephen Pollard was born circa 1965. He was educated at John Lyon School and graduated from Mansfield College, Oxford where he graduated BA, later converted to MA by seniority.

After early articles for the Fabian Review in 1993 (for example, "More Southern Discomfort", discussing ways by which the Labour Party could reform itself sufficiently to regain power), Stephen Pollard's career has seen a fair degree of political movement from left to right; he was formerly an advisor to anti-EU Labour politician Peter Shore. He was a journalist at the Daily Express as a journalist and leader-writer, Stephen Pollard left the paper for a time in 2001. However, following a reconciliation with Richard Desmond in mid 2009, Pollard has returned to writing articles for the Daily Express.

He is a former Chairman of the European Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and a former president of the Centre for the New Europe, a free-market think tank based in Brussels. He has written columns for several publications, including The Times, the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, and also has maintained a blog.

He is an advocate of market-based public service reforms. He was one of the signatory founders, in 2005, of the Henry Jackson Society, which advocates a proactive approach to the spread of liberal democracy across the world. By 2006, he held the view that, in the "battle to save western civilisation", the "Left, in any recognisable form, is now the enemy". His biography of Labour Party politician David Blunkett, with the subject's involvement, was published in 2004.
