Emil Steen (29 March 1887 – 1950) was a Norwegian businessman.

He was born in Kristiania as a son of businessman Christian Strøm Steen (1854–1932) and Lilli Bing (1865–1935).[1] He was thus a brother of Nils Steen,[2] grandson of Peter Emil Steen, nephew of Johan and Emil Steen, and a first cousin of Erling and Fredrik Steen.

He finished Kristiania Commerce School in 1908. In 1912 he was hired as a wholesaler in Harald Ohlsen & Co.[3] He became a co-owner of the company in 1916. In 1926 he became chief executive of Sætre Kjeksfabrikk.[1][4]

He was a board member of Steen & Strøm[4] and Norges Hypotekforening for Næringslivet,[5] national board member of the Federation of Norwegian Industries,[6] supervisory council member of Christiania Bank og Kreditkasse,[7] Christiania Spigerverk,[8] Holter-Sørensens Tankrederi,[9] Hippodromen AS,[10] and Forsikringsselskapet Norden.[11] He was also a deputy member of the national price committee for liquor after the Second World War.[12]

Together with Ragnhild Berg he had the son Christian Steen, who became chief executive of Steen & Strøm.[13] Emil Steen died in October 1950.[4] Marshals at his funeral were Harald Borchgrevink and Mogens Christensen.[14]
