Stephanie "Steph" Bannon (born 22 March 1989) is an English former footballer who spent her entire senior career with Sunderland A.F.C. Women. After becoming club captain aged 18, she led the team to win three consecutive FA Women's Premier League National Division titles, the 2012–13 FA Women's Premier League Cup, and the 2014 FA WSL 2, and to become runners-up in the 2008–09 FA Women's Cup.
As of 2025, alongside Keira Ramshaw, Bannon is one of only two players to have made 200 appearances for Sunderland A.F.C. Women. Bannon retired from football in 2017, at 28 years old, due to being unable to sustain part-time football alongside her full-time job as a physical education (PE) teacher.
