Stacey Chepkemboi Ndiwa (born 6 December 1992) is a Kenyan female long-distance runner who competes across cross country, track and road running disciplines. She was a gold medallist at the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games in the 1500 metres and was a team silver medallist at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in 2015, where she was fifth individually.[1][2] She was also a bronze medallist in the 1500 m at the 2011 African Junior Athletics Championships.[3]

Sixth place at the Kenyan Cross Country Championships in 2015 brought her her first senior international selection for the world event.
