Rochelle Anne Stormont (born July 21, 1982 in Pukekohe, Auckland) is a New Zealand judoka who competed in the women's half-lightweight category.[1] She held five New Zealand senior titles in her division between 1997 and 2004, picked up a total of seven medals in her career, and represented her nation New Zealand in the 52-kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics.[2][3]

Stormont qualified as a lone judoka for the New Zealand squad in the women's half-lightweight class (52 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by topping the field and granting a berth from the Oceania Championships in Noumea, New Caledonia.[2][4] She lost her opening match to Romania's highly-ranked judoka Ioana Maria Aluaş, who scored an ippon victory and quickly subdued her on the tatami with an ura nage (rear throw) at thirty-four seconds.[5][6]
