Stephen Mark Merfeld (born September 23, 1961) is the associate head basketball coach at Creighton University and the former head men's basketball coach at Hampton University and the University of Evansville.

After leading the Hampton Pirates to back-to-back NCAA tournaments, including a first-round upset of second-seeded Iowa State in 2001, Merfeld was hired as the head coach at Evansville, where he coached until the 2007 season. The shot of Hampton forward David Johnson lifting a jubilant Merfeld in the air after the Pirates' 2001 upset remains a memorable event in NCAA history.

In December 2009, Merfeld stepped down as an assistant coach at Bradley University.^[1]

Merfeld joined Greg McDermott's staff at Creighton University prior to the 2010–11 season.^[2]
