Stephen de Segrave (born around 1171, died 9 November 1241) was a medieval English administrator who served as Chief Justiciar of England from 1232 to 1234 under King Henry III. The son of Gilbert de Segrave of Leicestershire, he held numerous offices including high sheriff of several counties and constable of the Tower of London before reaching the justiciarship. As justiciar he presided over the trial of Hubert de Burgh in November 1232, later described as the first state trial in England. His close association with Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, drew criticism, and after losing the justiciarship in 1234 he eventually withdrew to Leicester Abbey, where he died and was buried.
