Steven William "Steve" Morison (born 29 August 1983) is a footballer, currently playing for Stevenage Borough. Morison was born in Enfield and attended Enfield Grammar School. After leaving school aged 16, Morison had trials with Leicester City amongst others, eventually signing for Northampton Town. He fell out of favour with boss, former Scotland and Tottenham Hotspur defender Colin Calderwood and moved to non-league Bishops Stortford. After scoring heavily for two seasons, Morison joined Stevenage Borough. A move to Luton Town was rumoured to be on the cards but would have fallen through due to Luton's on-going financial problems.

He was the joint 3rd top scorer of the Conference National with 22 goals in the season 2007/2008. Steve Morison joined Stevenage Borough in August 2006 from Bishop's Stortford. He made an instant impact for Stevenage, scoring a headed goal on his debut against Crawley Town. He then went onto score his first-ever career hat-trick in a 3-3 draw away at Morecambe. Recently, Morison has been attracting the attention of several football league sides said to be interested in the in-form striker.

On May 12th 2007, Morison scored the winning goal in the 88th minute of the FA Trophy Final against Kidderminster Harriers F.C., in a 3-2 victory for Stevenage.
