The Spanish-based Australian, who normally carries out the unglamorous work for his team leader, came in three seconds in front of a chasing bunch with Oscar Camenzind of Switzerland finishing second and Russian Vyacheslav Ekimov third.
Jan Ullrich of Germany, who finished with the peloton nearly four minutes behind Stephens in the 136-mile stage from the Swiss city of Fribourg, retained the overall leader's yellow jersey he has held for nine days.
Stephens made a cradle with his arms as he crossed the finish line and later said the gesture was for his wife Amaia who gave birth to their baby daughter Madeleine in March.
It was the third time an Australian has won a stage in the Tour de France since Phil Anderson's victories in 1993 and 1995.
``I don't get many chances to go for a stage win... The last kilometer was very long,'' said the popular 33-year-old Stephens who has been a professional since 1984.
``But when there's a chance for me, I have to take it like today. It was the biggest win of my life.''
Stephens, part of a breakaway group about three miles from the finish, sped off on his own with about two miles to go when the others dropped their rhythm.
``Once I got into the break, I was happy to be with it,'' he said, adding that the only way to win was to attack.
Defending champion Bjarne Riis, who lost a lot of ground in Tuesday's last Alpine stage from Morzine, started the stage after casting doubts over his fitness.
After dropping from fourth to seventh overall, Riis said he had been suffering with stomach trouble brought on by medicine which he took for chronic wrist pains.
``If I don't feel better tomorrow I can't do it any more,'' Riis said, adding that he would not have made it over the last of the day's three climbs if fellow Dane Jesper Skibby of rival team TVM had not given him a helping push.
Riis said he thought his Telekom teammates should have dropped back to help him.
