Could not find one on Hackage either. Probably because its so easy to  
handcraft your own:

     newtype Stack a = Stack [a]

     emptyStack = Stack []

     isEmptyStack (Stack xs) = null xs

     push x (Stack xs) = Stack (x:xs)

     pop (Stack (_:xs)) = Stack xs

     top (Stack (x:_)) = x

I saw such stacks in Haskell only for educational purposes. Usually,  
people seem to use lists directly.
