Gordon Stephenson (1908-1997) was a well known architect and town planner. He was best known for his post World War II reconstruction of bombed city centres, and for the 1955 'Plan for the Metropolitan Region' (co-authored with Alistair Hepburn), which formed the basis of the Metropolitan Region Scheme for Perth and Fremantle.

Stephenson's scheme has become the blueprint for town planning in the Perth metropolitan area since then.
