Steve DeBerg (born January 19, 1954) is a former American Football quarterback who played for the San Francisco 49ers (1978-1980), Denver Broncos (1981-1983), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1984-1987, 1992, 1993), Kansas City Chiefs (1988-1991), Miami Dolphins (1993), and Atlanta Falcons (1998).

DeBerg's claim to fame is that throughout his career he was quarterbacking teams that drafted incoming superstar QBs: He was with the 49ers when they drafted Joe Montana, with the Denver Broncos when John Elway arrived, and at Tampa Bay when both Steve Young and Vinny Testaverde were brought in. DeBerg's best years were with the Chiefs, during which he led the team to two playoff berths and had his best year in 1990 with a 101.2 quarterback rating, passing for 3,444 yards, 23 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. In 1993, he left a Dolphins home Monday Night Football game battered and bloodied, only to return following halftime. Otherwise, most of his career was spent in a back-up role, and he never spent more than 64 games with any one team.

DeBerg served as the head coach of the Arena Football League's Indiana Firebirds in 2004 for 5 games. The team's record during his tenure was 0-5. He later served as an assistant coach with the Tampa Bay Storm.
