Steven Allen Blackford (August 1, 1977 in Des Moines, Iowa - September 3, 2004 near Brush, Colorado) was a three-time NCAA All-American and two-time Pac-10 Champion wrestler for Arizona State University.

Riding in a Jeep driven by his girlfriend, 2004 Summer Olympics silver medalist Sara McMann, Blackford, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the car when it ran off the road and rolled over. He died at the scene. McMann was hospitalized, and later charged with careless driving.
