Sthenelaidas () was a Spartan who held the office of ephor in 432 BC. He is best known for having spoken in favour of initiating the Peloponnesian War against Athens.
== Life == Sthenelaidas was either elected ephor for the year 433/432 perhaps as eponymous ephor or in 432/431, when the eponymous was Aenesias. The majority of modern scholars incline for the latter date.
