Deshea Townsend (born September 8, 1975) is a defensive back who is currently playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played college football at the University of Alabama. On Friday, March 17, 2006, Townsend was re-signed with the Steelers.

An eight year veteran of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Townsend grew from a special teams player and nickle back into a solid starter for the Steelers at cornerback. Townsend is known for his outside speed as a pass rusher. Townsend has recorded 13.5 quarterback sacks, and 14 interceptions during his eight years as a Steeler. He also had a key sack on Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselback during the final minutes of Super Bowl XL, which helped secure the Steelers eventual victory. He was re-signed by the Steelers as an unrestricted free agent in March 2006.
