Stephen Robert Purches (born 14 January 1980 in Ilford, England) is an English footballer who plays in defence or midfield for Leyton Orient.
Purches is a versatile defender who can play at centre back, midfield or full back on either side. He was previously a trainee at West Ham but left in 2000 after failing to make a single appearance for the first team. He joined A.F.C. Bournemouth where he spent 7 years and missed only three league games in his time at the club.
In summer 2007 he rejected a new contract at Bournemouth and left on a free transfer to Leyton Orient. Purches watched his first football matches at Orient and described his move as being "like coming home". He was also handed the team captaincy when he arrived.
