Stefan Velev (Стефан Велев; born 2 May 1989) is a Bulgarian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Botev Vratsa.

Career
Born in Sofia, Velev played for Septemvri as a schoolboy, before joining Slavia Sofia. But he found it difficult to break into the first team due to the consistency of Slavčo Georgievski and Pavle Popara.

In June 2008 Velev signed a two-year contract with Lokomotiv Stara Zagora. He made his B PFG and Lokomotiv debut on 9 August in a home 1–0 against Shumen, scoring the goal of the win.

On 13 March 2017, Velev signed a $1 1/2$-year contract with Slavia Sofia. He left the club at the end of the 2017–18 season when his contract expired.

On 15 June 2018, Velev signed with Sepsi OSK.

International career
Velev earned his first cap for Bulgaria on 29 May 2012, after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 0–2 loss against Turkey in an exhibition game.
