Walter Steward of Dundonald (died 1246) was 3rd hereditary High Steward of Scotland and Justiciar of Scotia.
He was the eldest son of Alan fitz Walter, 2nd High Steward of Scotland by his second wife Alesta of Mar. He was the first member of the House of Stuart to use Stewart as a surname and was designated "of Dundonald".
He witnessed a charter by King Alexander II, under the designation of "Walterus filius Alani, Senescallus, Justiciar Scotiae" and it may be that seal which Nisbet described pertaining to Walter Hereditary High Steward of Scotland. Around the seal, it states "Sigill. Walteri filii Allani".
