Stephen Oris Drew (born March 16, 1983 in Hahira, Georgia) is a shortstop in Major League Baseball who plays for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Drew went to Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. He played college baseball at Florida State University under head coach Mike Martin, as did both of his brothers, where he was Baseball America's Freshman of the Year, and ACC Rookie of the Year.

He is the younger brother of Red Sox outfielder J.D. Drew and former major leaguer Tim Drew. The Drew brothers are the only trio of first-round siblings ever selected in the Major League Baseball Draft.

Drew was selected to the 2006 All-Star Futures Game.

On July 13, by|2006, during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Craig Counsell injured his ribs, prompting the call-up of Drew from the D-Backs Triple-A affiliate, the Tucson Sidewinders.

He made his major league debut on July 15 against the Milwaukee Brewers. Also making his major league debut that day (for the Brewers), was Tony Gwynn Jr., son of former major leaguer Tony Gwynn.

On July 17, 2006, Drew recorded his first major league hit off the Los Angeles Dodgers' Aaron Sele. This was also his first game opposing brother J.D..

In a game on September 1, mlby|2008, Drew hit for the cycle against the St. Louis Cardinals, becoming the first player to do so at Chase Field [cite web | url=http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=452407 | title=Arizona SS Stephen Drew hits for cycle | publisher=sportingnews.com | accessdate = 2008-09-01] . Batting leadoff, Drew singled in the first inning, tripled in the third inning, and homered in the fifth inning against St. Louis Cardinals starter Joel Pineiro. He added a ground-rule double in the seventh inning against reliever Kyle McClellan. It was the fourth time a player hit for the cycle in the 2008 season. On the same day, Adrián Beltré of the Seattle Mariners hit for the cycle. This was the first time that 2 players hit for the cycle on the same day since mlby|1920.
