Helen Stephens, född 3 februari 1918 i Fulton i Missouri, död 17 januari 1994, var en amerikansk friidrottare som tävlade under 1930-talet i kortdistanslöpning.
Stephens främsta meriter kom på 100 meter, men hon var även amerikansk mästare i både kulstötning och diskuskastning. Stephens deltog vid Olympiska sommarspelen 1936 i Berlin där hon blev dubbel guldmedaljör. I finalen på 100 meter slog hon den regerande världsmästaren och världsrekordhållaren Stanisława Walasiewicz. Stephens tid, 11,5 sekunder, var bättre än gällande världsrekord, men i för stark vind för att rekordnoteras. Hon sprang även sista sträckan i det amerikanska stafettlag som vann guld på 4 × 100 meter.
Efter OS valde hon att sluta med friidrott och i stället spela baseboll och basket.

Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
