  Stephen Southon (28 October 1806 – 10 March 1880) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Kent sides in 1825 and 1826. All four of his first-class matches were against Sussex sides. Southon, who played as a wicket-keeper, had played for Kent against Hawkhurst in a non-first class match in 1823 alongside his brother, Charles.
  
  Southon was born at Benenden in Kent, possibly the son of the village butcher, and emigrated to the United States in 1827. He died in Albany, New York, in 1880 aged 73.
