Gregory Steven Stefan (born February 11, 1961, in Brantford, Ontario, Canada) was a professional ice hockey goaltender in the National Hockey League.

Drafted in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings, Greg Stefan became known for using his stick to clear skaters in front of the net, many times receiving penalties, and sometimes suspensions. He played in 299 games, winning 115 of them, before suffering an eventual career-ending knee injury in a game against the Edmonton Oilers.

Stefan re-joined the Plymouth Whalers after more than two seasons with the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, first as Goaltending Coach/Pro Scout, and more recently as Assistant Coach/Goaltending Coach. Stefan began his coaching career in 1993 with the Detroit Junior Red Wings (now Plymouth Whalers) and contributed to the team’s first OHL championship in 1995. He served as an assistant coach in Plymouth until 1998, and re-joined the Whalers as director of player development and assistant coach in 2003. After moving around the Carolina Hurricanes system as a scout and even as an assistant coach, he returned to coach Plymouth when then-coach Mike Vellucci's time restraints prevented his entire focus.
