  We present a method for the direct calculation of the spin stiffness by means
of the coupled cluster method. For the spin-half Heisenberg antiferromagnet on
the square, the triangular and the cubic lattices we calculate the stiffness in
high orders of approximation. For the square and the cubic lattices our results
are in very good agreement with the best results available in the literature.
For the triangular lattice our result is more precise than any other result
obtained so far by other approximate method.
