Steve Devine (born 11 December 1964 in Strabane) is a former Northern Irish footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s as a full-back.

He started his career at Wolves but never played a first team match, although he did play for Northern Ireland at youth level. In March 1983 he joined Derby County, appearing in 9 league matches as the Rams were relegated to the old Third Division. He was to make just one further appearance in the following season before joining Stockport County in the summer of 1985.

After just two league appearances in two months he joined Hereford United where he eventually became a first team regular, going on to make 272 league appearances for the club, scoring 4 goals.

In 1993 he left Hereford and dropped into non-league football with a spell at Corby Town before spending three seasons at Hednesford Town. He later had two spells at Gresley Rovers, sandwiching another spell at Hednesford where he was assistant manager.

He later worked at Derby as a sports therapist, before joining Nottingham Forest as a physio in 2003.
