Stephen Paul Bunting (born 9 April 1985) is an English professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events, where he is ranked world number four. Nicknamed "the Bullet", Bunting previously competed in British Darts Organisation (BDO) and World Darts Federation (WDF) events. He is a former BDO World Champion, having won the 2014 World Championship. He also won three other BDO major titles: the World Masters in 2012 and 2013 and the 2012 Zuiderduin Masters. He switched to the PDC after accepting a Tour Card in 2014, and has since won ten titles; seven ranking Pro Tour titles and three non-ranking. He won his first PDC major title at the 2024 Masters, defeating Michael van Gerwen in the final. He also reached the semi-finals of the PDC World Championship in 2021 and 2025. In 2025, Bunting won his first two World Series of Darts titles at the Bahrain Darts Masters and Nordic Darts Masters, and won his first two European Tour titles at the International Darts Open and Swiss Darts Trophy.
