Omar Array Stoutmire (born July 9, 1974 in Pensacola, Florida) is a former American football safety in the National Football League. He played college football at Fresno State and was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round of the 1997 NFL Draft.
Stoutmire attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School and received Super Prep All-American honors. He accepted a scholarship to play at Fresno State University, where as a junior he set the Western Athletic Conference and the school record for tackles in a season (198). As a senior, he was named to the All-WAC team, after registering 87 tackles. He ended his eligibility with the school record for career tackles (458) and most tackles in a single season (198).

Stoutmire was selected in the seventh round (224th overall pick) of the 1997 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. As a rookie, he played strong safety in the nickel defense and displayed excellent run-support skills. When Darren Woodson sustained a knee injury, he started against the Philadelphia Eagles and registered 13 tackles—the first time a rookie started at safety for the Cowboys in a nonstrike game since Michael Downs in the 1981 season. He tied with Deion Sanders for the team lead in interceptions (2), forced 2 fumbles and was sixth on the team and seventh for NFL rookies in tackles with 76.
