The Stegner Fellowship program is a two-year creative writing fellowship at Stanford University. The award is named after American Wallace Stegner (1909—1993), an historian, novelist, short story writer, environmentalist, and Stanford faculty member who founded the university's creative writing program. Ten fellowships are awarded every year, five in fiction and five in poetry. The recipients do not need a degree to receive the fellowships, though many fellows do have MFA degrees in creative writing. No degree is awarded after the two-year fellowship.

The current poetry faculty for the program consists of Eavan Boland, Kenneth Fields and W. S. DiPiero. The current fiction faculty for the program consists of Elizabeth Tallent and Tobias Wolff.^[1] Other notable writers often serve as guest instructors for a quarter as part of other endowed lectureships. Recent visiting writers include Heather McHugh, Nobel Laureate J.M. Coetzee, Bharati Mukherjee, Robert Pinsky, Colm Toibin, Li-Young Lee and, just before his death in 2004, Thom Gunn.
