Stephen Torpey (born December 8 1970 in Islington, London) is an English footballer, who plays for North Ferriby United.

Torpey had played for a number of clubs, before signing for Scunthorpe United from Bristol City in February 2000. He was Scunthorpe's record transfer signing, costing £175,000. Torpey broke the ten goal barrier in each of his first five seasons at Scunthorpe and represented the club over 250 times.

He was released at the end of the 2006-07 season, after only playing a small part in the club's promotion to the Championship. He subsequently signed for League Two side Lincoln City, [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/lincoln_city/6237082.stm Imps seal deal for Iron striker] ] but moved on again after six months, joining Farsley Celtic after a successful loan spell.

He found himself consigned to the bench at the start of the 2008–09 season and, after making just two substitute appearances, moved on to North Ferriby United. [cite web
