Steven Watt (born May 1, 1985 in Banff) is a Scottish professional footballer currently out of contract.

Central defender Watt began his career with Chelsea, making his Chelsea debut against Scunthorpe United in the FA Cup in January 2005. He played the full 90 minutes and earned praise from José Mourinho for his performance. In November 2005 Watt spent a month on loan to Barnsley, for whom he made three starts. Shortly after returning to Chelsea he was allowed to leave the Premier League club and joined Swansea on January 10, 2006.

On August 14, 2007 Watt joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a season long loan to regain his match fitness.

Watt made his debut in the CIS cup against Arbroath and despite a fairly solid performance he never played again for the first team and left the club to return to Swansea.

But on May 9 it was announced that Watt would not be getting a new contract when his current deal at Swansea ends at the end of the month.^[1]
