Steffen Iversen (born November 10, 1976 in Oslo) is a Norwegian football player currently playing for Rosenborg.

The first club that Iversen played for was Nationalkameratene. He later moved on to Astor, before starting his professional career at Rosenborg, with whom he won the Tippeligaen twice in 1995 and 1996. In England he has played for Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers. In 2004, he moved back to Norway to play for Vålerenga where he played a crucial role (along with goalkeeper Arason) during the 2005 season and won his third Tippeligaen, ten years after his first. His contract ended on 31 October 2005, and for months he was a free agent. Rumours abounded of several clubs showing their interest, including Mallorca, Everton and his previous club Vålerenga. On February 10th, 2006 it was, a bit surprisingly, announced that he wanted to return to his old club Rosenborg, where his joining was officially announced on February 13th, 2006. In Rosenborg Iversen was the star player of the 2006 season and helped his team win the title, Iversen's fourth medal.

Iversen also has 62 caps for the Norwegian national team, scoring 13 goals, and was part of their Euro 2000 squad.

The son of legendary footballer Odd Iversen, Steffen is considered by many, to be a "trønder" denoting someone from the regions around Trondheim where his father played for Rosenborg. But Steffen was in fact born in the Norwegian capital of Oslo, when his father played for Vålerenga, and considers himself just as much a native of Oslo as of Trondheim.

He also collected a League Cup winners medal with Tottenham in 1999.

When he retires, Steffen will have to spend two years in the Norwegian Army as part of their conscription scheme.
