Stephen Talkhouse (Stephen Taukus “Talkhouse” Pharaoh) was a Montaukett Native American of the late 19th century who was famed for his 25-50 mile daily round trip walks from Montauk, New York to East Hampton (village), New York and Sag Harbor, New York. Landmarks along the route have now been named for him.

His is said to be a descendant of Chief Wyandanch who sold much of the eastern end of Long Island to Lion Gardiner.

Ruins of his home and his grave are located at Theodore Roosevelt County Park.

Part of his route has been commemorated as part of the Paumanok Path.
