Steve Walsh (born December 1, 1966 in St. Paul, Minnesota) is a former National Football League quarterback.

Walsh was a prolific passer at the University of Miami, where he led the Hurricanes to the national championship in 1987 and a sterling record of 23-1 in his two seasons as the team's starting quarterback. Walsh also held the school record for career touchdown passes, a mark which stood from 1988 until 2002, when it was surpassed by Ken Dorsey.

Walsh was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the first pick in the 1989 NFL Supplemental Draft. With Dallas, Walsh was reunited with his former head coach at Miami, Jimmy Johnson, who had just taken over the Cowboys' reigns. However, Dallas had also selected quarterback Troy Aikman in the regular draft that same year and Walsh was never able to move out of the role of Aikman's backup. The year after his rookie season, Walsh was traded to the New Orleans Saints for three draft picks.

Walsh went on to have a respectable 11-year NFL career, playing for the Cowboys, Saints, Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Indianapolis Colts, but was never able to attain the remarkable success in the NFL that he had in college. He retired after the 1999 season.

Walsh finished his career with 713 completions in 1317 attempts (54.1%), 7,875 yards, 40 touchdowns, and 50 interceptions, for a passer rating of 66.4.
