Stefan Trevor Oakes (born September 6, 1978 in Leicester, East Midlands) is an English footballer, who currently plays for Lincoln City in Football League Two after rejecting a new contract at Wycombe Wanderers.

A left-footed midfielder, Oakes began his career at Leicester City. While at Leicester, he was part of the 2000 League Cup winning side. He then moved to Notts County after short spells at Walsall and Crewe. Despite being a regular starter and fans' favourite at Notts County, he rejected a new contract in the summer of 2005 and moved to their League Two rivals, Wycombe Wanderers.

Oakes was a regular in the Wycombe first team during the 2005-06 season when he was heralded by then manager John Gorman as "The best passer of the ball probably in the country."[citation needed]

Stefan's brother Scott was also a professional footballer. Their father Trevor Oakes is a guitarist in the band Showaddywaddy.

On 9th of June 2008 Oakes joined Lincoln City on a two year deal after declining a new contract at Wycombe Wanderers.
