Stephen Wakeling (born 4 October 1983) is an English Middleweight Muay Thai kickboxer, fighting out of Kent, England. He is former British, European and four time World Muay Thai champion.

Wakeling's parents were both Muay Thai fighters, his father competed in the King's Cup and his mother was a European champion. Wakeling also runs a construction firm in addition to his fighting career.

He was expected to face Joe Schilling at Glory 5: London in London, England on 23 March 2013 but his opponent was changed to Simon Marcus. Marcus then withdrew from the bout to face Artem Levin, however, and Eddie Walker stepped in as his third opponent. He stopped Walker with low kicks in round two.

He was set to compete in the four man 85 kg/187 lb tournament at Glory 10: Los Angeles - Middleweight World Championship Tournament in Ontario, California, United States on 28 September 2013 and face Joe Schilling in the semi-finals. However, he was unable to compete due to visa issues and was replaced by Kengo Shimizu.
