Stephen Turnbull (born 7 January 1987) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Gateshead.

Stephen is a central midfield player. He captained the Hartlepool youth team during the Dallas Cup in 2005 where they achieved third place, and made 22 appearances for the first team the following season, earning his first professional contract.

Stephen Turnbull is the twin brother of fellow Gateshead midfielder Philip Turnbull.

He joined Bury on loan in 2006, where he was picked by Bury manager Chris Casper for their 3-1 FA Cup second round replay win at Chester City on 12 December, although he was ineligible to play and Bury were therefore thrown out of the tournament.^[1] Danny Wilson called Stephen back to Hartlepool soon after this. He spent the whole of March 2007 on loan at Rochdale, playing in four matches.

After leaving Hartlepool in early May 2008, he signed for Gateshead on 2 June 2008 teaming up with his brother.
