Stefan LeFors (born June 7, 1981) is an American college football coach and former professional quarterback. He is the head football coach for Gallaudet University, a position he has held since 2025. He played college football for Louisville and was drafted in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL draft to the Carolina Panthers. He also played for the Edmonton Eskimos and Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL).

After LeFors' players career ended he served as the head football coach for Christian Academy of Louisville from 2011 to 2018 and Parkview Baptist High School from 2019 to 2024.

LeFors attended Christian Life Academy in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 2003, LeFors became the starting quarterback for the Louisville Cardinals football team. In 2004, LeFors started every game that season. LeFors ranks as the 4th all-time leading passer at the University of Louisville with 5,853 yards & first in pass completion percentage with 66%.

In 2004, he narrowly missed breaking Daunte Culpepper's season-record completion percentage with 73.5 to Culpepper's 73.6. He led Louisville that season to an 11–1 season in which they finished 6th in the final AP Poll (the highest finish in school history) and won the Liberty Bowl. Louisville was the only D-1A (now FBS) university to recruit LeFors out of high school as a quarterback.

LeFors was redshirted as a freshman in 2000 and served as a backup to Dave Ragone in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, he took over as a starter, throwing for 3,145 passing yards and 17 touchdowns, and was named 1st team All-Conference USA Quarterback in both 2003 and 2004.

He was also named Conference Player of the Year in 2004 and named a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award as a senior. LeFors participated in the East–West Shrine Game (college all-stars) and was named Offensive Player of the Game.

LeFors was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the fourth round (121st overall pick) of the 2005 NFL draft out of the University of Louisville. After serving one season in a backup role, he was released by the Panthers in September 2006. LeFors conducted workouts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, and Denver Broncos but was not offered a contract.

In December 2006, LeFors was signed by the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL as an import player. He was the backup quarterback for the team's 2007 season, but had the opportunity to start 5 games at the end of the season because of Ricky Ray's shoulder injury. By the end of the 2007 CFL regular season, LeFors was placed 8th in the league in passing yardage with 1193 yards, as well as 6 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, while completing 60.8% of his passes.
