Steve Brown (born 25 January 1981 in Bristol) is an English darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation events.

He lists beating five-time former world champion Eric Bristow as his best moment - although Bristow was well past his best years and long-since given up competing regularly on the circuit by the time they met.

He has competed on the PDC Pro Tour since 2006, regularly reaching the last 64 of events. His best performances came in the 2007 Windy City Open in Chicago and the 2007 UK Open Irish Regional where he reached the quarter-finals. He also made it to the last 16 of the 2007 Peachtree Open and 2007 Hayling Island PDPA Players Championship.

His consistency on the Pro Tour during 2007 saw him qualify for the 2008 PDC World Darts Championship for the first time. He was the fifth highest ranked player on the Pro Tour of those who hadn't sealed an automatic place in the tournament. Having started the year at 613 in the world rankings - he had climbed to 76th by November.

[edit] Outside darts

Brown is not a full-time professional player - he makes his living as a plasterer and began taking up darts around 1996. He is a fan of Bristol City and is married with three children.
