Hubertus Jozef Margaretha "Huub" Stevens (Dutch pronunciation: ; born 29 November 1953) is a Dutch football manager and former defender.

Stevens was born in Sittard. While active, he played for Fortuna Sittard and PSV. During his time at PSV, he won the Eredivisie three times, the KNVB Cup once and also won the UEFA Cup once, in 1978. He also earned 18 caps for the Netherlands national team, scoring one goal.

Soon after beginning his career as head of youth development at PSV, where he helped bring and develop players and coaches such as Nick Theslof, in 1993, Stevens became the head coach of Roda JC Kerkrade. From October 1996 to June 2002, he coached German Bundesliga side Schalke 04, with whom he won the UEFA Cup in 1997 and the DFB-Pokal in 2001 and 2002. In 1999, Schalke fans picked Stevens as trainer of the century.

Afterwards, Stevens was appointed head coach of Hertha BSC, but he was sacked on 4 December 2003. He was then hired by 1. FC Köln, which he coached from 14 June 2004 to 27 May 2005, when he signed a two-year contract with Roda JC. Under Stevens, 1. FC Köln became champions of the 2. Bundesliga and were promoted to the Bundesliga. Stevens was at Roda until he returned to the German Bundesliga, becoming the new coach at Hamburger SV on 2 February 2007. By the time Stevens took over, the club was in the relegation zone. Results improved quite dramatically and led to Hamburg avoiding relegation and even finishing seventh in the league, thereby qualifying for the 2007 UEFA Intertoto Cup.
