Rehema Stephens (born December 28, 1969) is a former professional basketball player for the Sacramento Monarchs.

She played basketball at Oakland Technical High School, making all-league in 1985, 1987, and 1988. In 1986-87 she was named first team All-State and third team Parade All American.[1] In college, she played one season for the University of Colorado and three seasons for the University of California, Los Angeles. At UCLA she led the Pac-10 Conference in scoring in her first and second seasons; in her second season she was the fifth-highest scorer in the country. She reached 1,000 points faster than any other Lady Bruin and is still the school's second-highest career scorer in women's basketball.[2]

She graduated from UCLA with a degree in psychology, then turned pro. She played basketball in Australia and Greece before joining the Monarchs. Retiring from basketball after one season, she has since worked as a teacher, Realtor, radio host and author.[1]
