Steve Laore (1963/1964 – 26 August 2010) was a Solomon Islands politician and member of parliament. Formerly a mechanic and businessman, and owner of a construction company, he defeated Augustine Taneko to become MP for the Shortlands constituency. He was a member of the Pacific Casino Hotel group that elevated Danny Philip to the prime ministry.
He collapsed at a dinner on August 26, 2010, celebrating Philip's victory, and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Laore's death leaves Philip with a majority of one in the Parliament. He was 46 at the time of his death. He was survived by a wife and three children.
