Homer John Stevens (August 2, 1923 – 2002) was a Canadian trade unionist and fisherman from British Columbia. He was the general secretary and then president of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union (UFAWU). UFAWU represented fishermen, shoreworkers, and workers in fish processing and transport. In 1967, he was sentenced to a year in prison for contempt of court when he defied a court order. In 2017, the Vancouver Sun profiled Stevens as one of their "150 noteworthy British Columbians". In 2020, the Communist Party of Canada held a celebration in his honour at a public park in Delta, British Columbia.
