Steven Dwayne Burtt (born November 5, 1962 in New York City) is a retired American professional basketball player. The 6'2" point guard played in the NBA sporadically from 1984 until 1993. He also had an established playing career overseas.

He played professionally in Greece in 1992 before being banned for life from its basketball league for drug violations, consisting of cocaine and hashish found in his luggage returning from a visit to the US.[1]

Burtt is the father of former Iona College basketball player Steve Burtt, Jr. who shares his namesake and currently plays in Ukraine.

In 2007, Burtt was named by Maccabi Rishon LeZion B.C. as the "Best Foreigner Player" in the history of the club at the last 20 years, back then.
