Steve Croft (born October 11, 1984 in Blackpool) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who currently plays for Lancashire.

Croft made his debut appearance for the Lancashire Second XI at the age of 16, in May 2001. He continued playing for the team for four years, until he was called up to make his debut, in May 2005, against Oxford University UCCE. Croft bowled slightly expensively, though his team were to come out victorious by ten wickets.

Croft became a first-team player for Lancashire in limited overs cricket during the 2006 season, playing for the championship-winning C&G Trophy side, playing seven of the team's nine games in the competition. Though the team were to struggle to maintain their form into 2007, Croft continued to be a mainstay in the first team during cup competitions, batting in the upper-middle order. Croft has also continued to appear for Lancashire in the County Championship, making his debut appearance in the competition in 2007 against Worcestershire.

Croft is an upper-middle order batsman and an occasional, if expensive, bowler.
