Stella Luz Alabastro Quimbo (born Stella Luz Fagela Alabastro; November 23, 1969) is a Filipino politician and academic who has served as the representative for Marikina's second district since 2019, as a member of Lakas–CMD. She previously served as a commissioner of the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) from 2016 until her resignation in 2019.

Educated at the University of the Philippines Diliman, Quimbo began her academic career as a professor at her alma mater before becoming a full professor at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands from 2011 to 2013. She entered government in 2016 after President Benigno Aquino III appointed her to serve as a commissioner of the PCC. In 2019, she was elected to succeed her husband, Miro Quimbo, as the representative for Marikina's second district as a member of the Liberal Party.

During her tenure as representative, Quimbo was criticized for her support of the Maharlika Wealth Fund and defense of Vice President Sara Duterte's use of confidential and intelligence funds. She intends to run for mayor in the 2025 Marikina local elections.
