Stephen Norman "Steve" Howey (born 26 October 1971 in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear) is a former English football player. In his playing days he was employed as a central defender.

In his club career, Howey played for Newcastle United, Manchester City, Leicester City, Bolton Wanderers, and Hartlepool United. In 2004, he had an unsuccessful short spell with the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.

Howey is still a very popular figure in Newcastle as part of a successful influx from Newcastle's youth academy which also included Steve Watson, Robbie Elliott and Lee Clark.

Howey earned four caps for England and was part of the Euro 96 squad. His brother Lee was also a footballer, principally with Newcastle's rivals Sunderland.

Howey had a short, unsuccessful spell as Manager of Crook Town, taking the helm in September 2006 and resigning just two months later after a poor run of results.

He followed this with a spell as a Youth Team Coach at Middlesbrough before making a playing return with National League side fc|Bishop Auckland who he also serves in a coaching capacity.
