Steve Bancroft (born October 6, 1970) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. Selected 21st overall in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, he played in 6 NHL games with the Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks.

Bancroft grew up in the small Ontario community of Madoc, Ontario playing his minor hockey for the local Madoc Minor Hockey Association clubs from novice to bantam. He competed in several OMHA championship series before elevating to the Jr.C. level with his hometown Madoc Hurricanes in 1985–86. That same season, he also spent time playing at the Jr.B. level with the Trenton Golden Hawks.

The following year, Bancroft moved to St. Catharines, Ontario and played for the St. Catharines Falcons Jr. B team of the Golden Horseshoes League of the OHA.

Bancroft retired from professional hockey in 2006 and is now a real estate agent for Century 21 in Madoc, Ontario.{{cite web |title=Steve Bancroft |url=https://www.century21.ca/steve.bancroft |website=century21.ca |accessdate=July 2, 2018}}{{cite news |last1=Svoboda |first1=Paul |title=2017 NHL draft sparks memories of unique '89 selections: Three Bulls to Leafs in first round|url=http://www.intelligencer.ca/2017/06/25/2017-nhl-draft-sparks-memories-of-unique-89-selections-three-bulls-to-leafs-in-first-round|accessdate=July 2, 2018 |publisher=The Belleville Intelligencer |date=June 25, 2017 |quote=“Now selling real estate in his hometown of Madoc, Bancroft was preparing to host an open house on Crowe Lake Sunday}}
