Stephen Rowsham (Rousham, Rouse) was an English Catholic priest, executed on 3 April 1587.

[2] Becoming convinced of the truth of the Catholic religion he entered the English College[1] at Reims on 23 April 1581, where he was ordained priest at Michaelmas, and sent on the English mission on 30 April 1582, along with Robert Ludlam.

Rowsham is described as small of stature, with one shoulder higher than the other, with a certain twist to the neck.

He was sent to the Tower of London on 19 May 1582, and remained a prisoner for more than three years, during half of which time (from 14 August 1582 until 12 February 1584) he was confined to the dungeon known as the "Little Ease".

[2] Because of the outcry from spectators when John Sandys was cut down quickly and disemboweled alive, Rowsham was allowed to hang until he was dead.
