Steve Williams MBE (born April 15, 1976 in Warwick) is an English rower and Olympic champion.
Williams started rowing aged 13 while at Monkton Combe School, Bath, and attended Oxford Brookes University to study History and Town planning.
In 2000 he was part of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team that won the men's coxed four at the Rowing World Championships. The following year he was again world champion, this time in the coxless four, and won the silver medal in the same discipline in both 2002 and 2003.
With Matthew Pinsent, James Cracknell and Ed Coode, Williams won Olympic gold at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens in the men's coxless four.
Williams was the only member of the 2004 Olympic crew to continue racing for the 2005 season, joining Alex Partridge, Peter Reed and Andy Triggs Hodge in the coxless four, again winning at the World Championships.
