Zoe Stevenson (born 19 June 1991) is a New Zealand rower. She won gold in the women's double sculls with Fiona Bourke at the 2014 World Rowing Championships[3]

At regattas in Varese (Italy) and Lucerne (Switzerland) in 2015, she competed in the double sculls with Eve MacFarlane, winning gold in both finals.[4][5] The pair went to the 2015 World Rowing Championships held at Lac d'Aiguebelette in Aiguebelette, France, and again won gold.[6] Stevenson and MacFarlane qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics, but were beaten in the semi-finals by the US by 5/100 into fourth place, thus missing the A final.[7] In November 2016, she announced that she would take 2017 off from rowing.[8]
