Steve Roberts is a British comics artist, best known for his work on the long-running humour strip Bec & Kawl (written by Simon Spurrier). His iconic style, unusual in a comic known mainly for a combination of realistic and ultra-violent techniques, makes him well-suited for funny strips, and he has collaborated with Dan Abnett on a number of Sinister Dexter comedy one-offs.

Roberts was originally encouraged in his comics career by Simon Davis, who has continued to act as a mentor. Despite the two artists' styles being very different, they have collaborated on a number of cover images and star scans, Davis painting over Roberts' inking work.

Roberts has also worked closely with UK animation company SlinkyPics, and collaborated with Spurrier on a web-comic for BBC Cult.
