Steven Conrad (born 1968) is an American screenwriter and film producer and director.

Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Conrad briefly attended Florida State University before transferring to Northwestern University, where he majored in English. Shortly after graduation he sold his first screenplay, "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway", adapted from a short story he had written for a creative writing class. Eleven years passed before he tackled his next project, "Lawrence Melm", which he scripted and directed. He followed this with "The Weather Man" (which he also produced) and "The Pursuit of Happyness". He wrote, directed, and edited his latest film, "The Promotion", which premiered at South by Southwest in March 2008 and is scheduled to be released by Dimension Films later in the year. Potential future projects include an adaptation of the Chang-Rae Lee novel "Aloft" for Scott Rudin; "Chad Schmidt", about a talented actor with a slight resemblance to Brad Pitt; and "The Expanding Mailman" with Jack Black [ [http://www.chicagoreader.com/features/stories/ourtown/080306/ "Chicago Reader", March 6, 2008] ] .
