Stephen Fox (1938- ) is author and emeritus history professor at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California.

He wrote, Unknown internment: an oral history of the relocation of Italian Americans during World War II ISBN 0805791086. Published in 1990, the work describes World War II US Government restrictions on Italians living in coastal areas of the United States. It describes government rules, and resultant suicides and hardships, faced by internees. The work compares and contrasts government policy relating to Italians with the US internment of persons of Japanese ancestry. Unknown internment was based on oral histories, including Fox's original research.
