Steve Lyons (born June 3, 1960 in Tacoma, Washington) is a former Major League Baseball player and current television sportscaster.

A graduate of Oregon State University, Lyons began his major league playing career with the Boston Red Sox in 1985. Stints with the Chicago White Sox, Montreal Expos, and Atlanta Braves followed; Lyons made several intermittent returns to Boston before finishing his playing career there in 1993.

As a player, Lyons' colorful personality earned him the nickname "Psycho"; he was known for such eccentricities as playing tic-tac-toe and hangman with his spikes in the infield dirt, and in one 1990 game at Tiger Stadium in Detroit he created a stir after sliding into first base and, seemingly forgetting about the thousands of spectators watching him from the stands and on television, dropping his trousers to brush the dirt off his shirttail.

After his retirement from the playing field, Lyons became a color commentator for Fox Sports' MLB coverage in 1996, working first in a studio pregame show (with Chip Caray and Keith Olbermann) and later on game coverage (usually with Thom Brennaman). He has called several Division Series and League Championship Series telecasts for the network.
