Stephen Robert Torpey (born 16 September 1981) is an English former football forward. He is now a full-time foundation coach with Liverpool's youth teams.
He played one game in the Football League for Port Vale in 2001, and also played in the Conference National for Halifax Town between 2006 and 2008. He also played once for Scarborough, and also turned out for lower non-league sides Prescot Cables, Altrincham, Atherton Laburnum Rovers, F.C. United of Manchester, Stalybridge Celtic, AFC Telford United, and Fleetwood Town.
A versatile forward, Torpey started out as a Liverpool trainee, spending six years there and representing England at schoolboy level before moving to Second Division Port Vale in 2001. He made his debut for the "Valiants" on 1 September 2001, replacing George O'Callaghan 57 minutes into a 2–0 defeat to Reading at Vale Park. In October he was loaned out to Conference National side Scarborough, and played in one Football League Trophy game before returning to Burslem.
