St Stephen's House is a theological college in Oxford, England affiliated with the Church of England.[2] From 2003 to 2023 it was a permanent private hall of the University of Oxford.[3]

The college typically matriculates a small number of undergraduate students (just 5 in the academic year 2022–23),[4] but has graduate students in a number of fields including theology,[2] Byzantine studies,[2] education,[5] and music.[5] Between 2003 and 2023, roughly one quarter of the students were pursuing professional training as classroom teachers, and another quarter professional theological and ministerial training as priests, with the other half following a diverse range of studies and research, many remotely or on a flexible basis.[5]

The hall is rooted in and has a history of Anglo-Catholicism.
