Steve Melton (born October 3, 1978 in) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Worksop Town.

He played as a professional in the Football League from 1996 until 2006, featuring for Nottingham Forest, Stoke City, Brighton & Hove Albion, Hull City and Boston United. At Non-League level he has represented Tamworth and King's Lynn before re-joining Boston United and then moving on to Lincoln United, Lincoln Moorlands Railway and Grantham Town.

Melton started his career back in 1996 as a trainee with Nottingham Forest. Melton only appeared for Forest on three occasions before moving on to Stoke City in February 2000.

Like Nottingham Forest, Melton never really made it into the first team setup, so he moved on to Brighton & Hove Albion. Melton seemed to find his way into the starting eleven and played 46 games and managed to find the net three times.

November 2002 saw Melton on the move again. He joined Hull City after spending time on loan with the club.

Although he never scored in a competitive game for Hull City, he was the first player to score at their Kingston Communications Stadium in a friendly against Sunderland to commemorate the stadium's opening on 18 December 2002.
