"Steve McQueen" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow. The song was written and produced by Crow and John Shanks. It was released as the second single from her fourth studio album, C'mon, C'mon (2002) on July 1, 2002. The song title is a reference to American actor Steve McQueen.

Compared to the lead single "Soak Up the Sun", the song was less successful commercially. The song only peaked at number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 but was a decent hit on the Dance Club Songs chart, peaking at number eleven. It later won the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards in 2003, Crow's fourth win in the category.[1]

The single's music video was directed by Wayne Isham and features Crow racing around in various vehicles, recreating scenes from Steve McQueen movies.
