Steve Burns (October 9, 1973) is an actor, singer, and guitarist best-known for his stint as host of the popular Nickelodeon children's television show Blue's Clues. Burns hosted the show starting with its inception in 1996 and continuing through 2002, at which time the character Joe (portrayed by Donovan Patton) took over hosting duties.

During his run as host, Burns also appeared as an abused high school student in a April 1998 episode of Life on the Street and as himself in a 2000 episode of Yes, Dear. Burns has also contributed performances to limited-release or student films such as La Leçon, The Bill, and Marie and Bruce.

In the fall of 1998, an urban legend began circulating on the Internet that Burns had died from a heroin overdose. To counter this rumor, Burns appeared on The Rosie O'Donnell Show on November 12, 1998 to confirm his continued good health. The legend may have started from Burns' appearance as an autistic teenager in an April 1995 episode of Law & Order, in which his character died before the opening credits. Burns' "overdose" may also have been simply another iteration of a subgenre of urban legend in which celebrity figures whose public personas are associated with innocence are supposedly revealed to have a hidden, seedier side. (Examples of previous iterations of this genre are John Denver being a sniper in the Vietnam War or children's television show host Fred Rogers having a criminal past ^*.)
