Steven Handley (born 23 July 1970) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the AFL during the 1990s.

Handley started his career in the Gold Coast at Southport where he was a member of premiership sides in 1989 and 1990. He played some reserves games with the Brisbane Bears before moving to Western Australia and joining WAFL club Swan Districts. A key position player who could also ruck, Handley was recruited to Geelong in 1991. He missed out on selection in the 1992 AFL Grand Final due to a shoulder injury but played in Geelong's 1994 and 1995 teams which lost to West Coast and Carlton respectively. He was delisted after the 1997 season.
