Stephen de Mowbray (15 August 1925 – 4 October 2016) was a counterintelligence officer in Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). He became convinced that the then head of MI5, Sir Roger Hollis, was a Soviet spy.

He was born at Lymington on 15 August 1925, the son of Ralph de Mowbray, a surgeon, and was educated at Winchester. After serving in the Fleet Air Arm in World War II, he studied for a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) at New College, Oxford.

In 1950, de Mowbray joined MI6, serving variously in Baghdad, Montevideo, and Washington DC. He retired in 1979.

He married twice, firstly to Tamsin Giles, daughter of yachtsman Laurent Giles, and secondly to banker Patricia White.
