Brett Stewart (born 27 February 1985) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who plays for the Manly Sea Eagles. He is nicknamed "Snake".
Brett was second on the top try scorer list for the 2006 season, behind the South Sydney Rabbitohs' Nathan Merritt. He currently has the best strike rate for tries versus games in the NRL, taking over from Billy Slater. Stewart is known as the "Try scoring wizard" because of strike rate in NRL games. In his first representative match playing for the Prime Minister's XIII against Papua New Guinea, he contributed to Australia's 28-8 win with a try. He made his State of Origin debut in Game 2 of the 2007 series, replacing an injured Anthony Minichiello at the last moment, and scoring a try. Stewart played in the 2007 NRL Grand Final for Manly against Melbourne Storm but he was knocked out by an elbow charge in the early minutes of the 2nd half. Despite this, Stewart was selected as fullback for the Kangaroos end of season test against New Zealand in Wellington
