Steven Rance Mulliniks (born January 15, 1956 in Tulare, California) was a Major League Baseball player.

Originally drafted as a shortstop, Mulliniks made his major league debut in 1977 for the California Angels, batting .269 in 78 games. He saw limited playing time over the following years with California until 1979 and with the Kansas City Royals in 1980 and 1981.

Mulliniks' luck changed when he was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays just before the start of the 1982 season. He was converted to third base and appeared in over 100 games a year through the 1989 season. He batted over .300 three times (1984, 1987 and 1988) and demonstrated great patience at the plate, regularly posting on-base percentages near .400.

Mulliniks retired after the 1992 season having compiled a .272 career batting average, 73 home runs, 437 RBI, and 445 runs. He holds the Blue Jays franchise single season fielding percentage record for third basemen (.975) and the franchise record for most pinch hits (59).

Rance Mulliniks does occasional colour commentary for Rogers Sportsnet's Blue Jays coverage.
