Jordan Stewart (born 3 March 1982) is an English footballer, currently playing for Watford. He plays either as a left-back or left-winger.

Stewart started his career at Leicester City, signing professional terms in the summer of 1999. He made his debut for the club against West Ham on 22 January 2000. He made one more appearance for Leicester that season before being loaned to Second Division Bristol Rovers, for whom he made 4 appearances. Semi-regular cameos from the bench followed in 2001/02, before he established himself as a member of the first-team in 2002/03, after the club's relegation to Division One. On the 4 August 2002 Stewart scored the first goal at Leicester's new Walkers Stadium, in a friendly match with Athletic Bilbao. Leicester's return to the Premiership in 2003/04 saw fewer games for Stewart, although he did score a memorable goal against Manchester City at the City of Manchester Stadium in Leicester's 3-0 win in November 2003. Relegation again saw Stewart hold down a starting position in 2004/05.

Stewart became Adrian Boothroyd's signing for Watford, joining for £125,000 in July 2005. He started as Watford's first-choice left-back, but was dropped in October after a run of poor form. He retook the position from James Chambers in January, and started every game until he was dropped for the game against Wolves on 14 April after another run of poor form. He is the only player in Watford's squad to appear in every single match 16 in 2005/06.
