Stephen Thomas Bilko (November 13, 1928 - March 7, 1978) was a home run-hitting first baseman of the 1950s and early 1960s who enjoyed his greatest fame with the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League from 1955–57. His greatest year came in 1956 when he won the PCL's Triple Crown with a .360 batting average, 55 home runs, and 164 RBIs.

He also played for several major league teams, including the Los Angeles Angels of the American League in 1961 and 1962, but never enjoyed the success that he had with the PCL Angels in the 1950s.

He was nicknamed "Stout Steve" during his career because of his ample girth.
