Stefanie Lawton (née Miller; b. June 20, 1980 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian curler from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. After an appearance at the 1997 Canadian Junior Championships, she would go on to win the 2000 Championships with the help of her team of sister Marliese Miller (third), Stacy Helm (second) and Amanda MacDonald (lead). At the worlds that year, she would win the silver medal behind Matilda Mattsson of Sweden. In 2001, Lawton (then known as Stefanie Miller) went on to be undefeated at the Junior championships, only to lose to Prince Edward Island's Suzanne Gaudet. Four years later, Lawton returned to the curling scene by becoming the Saskatchewan women's champion and, as such, going to the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts. Her team of her sister Marliese, Sherri Singler and Chelsey Bell finished the round-robin in third place but lost to Ontario in the 3-4 playoff game.

The Lawton curling team changed its line up for the 2007-2008 curling season. With the departure of Chelsey Bell the team welcomed Lana Vey into the mix. Lana was the all star third at the 2007 Scott Tournament of Hearts in Lethbridge as a member of the Jan Betker foursome. Lana played lead as Team Lawton attempted to qualify for the Scott Tournament of Hearts hosted in February 2008 in Regina. The Lawton team lost the provincial final to Michelle Englot. However, the team rebounded and won the 2008 Canada Cup of Curling defeating Kelly Scott in the final.

Lawton won her second Saskatchewan Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2009, earning her rink a spot at the 2009 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The team made the playoffs, but lost in the 3 vs. 4 game to Jennifer Jones.

Lawton's rink was one of four that received an automatic bye to the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials. Her team finished 4-3, out of the playoffs.

Lawton won her second Canada Cup in 2010, defeating Olympic silver medalist Cheryl Bernard in the final.
