Steve Douglas (born 17 November 1977) is an English darts player who plays in the Professional Darts Corporation events. His nickname is The Game, and accompanies this with the use of Motörhead's song of the same name as his walk-on tune.
Douglas won the 1995 WDF Europe Youth Cup, and made his BDO World Darts Championship debut in 2000. He defeated Garry Spedding in the first round before losing to eventual champion Ted Hankey in the second round.
Douglas returned to the BDO World Championship stage in 2011, losing 0-3 in the first round to Gary Robson. He has also appeared in the Last 16 of the World Masters in 2009 and again in 2011. Douglas qualified for the World Championship again in 2012, and again was drawn against Robson in the first round. On this occasion, Douglas defeated Robson 3-0. He was defeated in the second round by Paul Jennings. He was the main administrator of the BDO's Players Forum, along with John Leatherbarrow and Lucy Evenden.
Douglas entered PDC Q School in January 2014, but only entered three of the four days and failed to win enough games to acquire a tour card. However, by participating he gained PDPA membership which gave him entry into certain events. In May, he beat two-time world champion Adrian Lewis on his way to the last 16 of a PDC event for the first time at the 10th Players Championship of the year, where he lost 6–1 to Tony Newell. He was defeated in two Challenge Tour finals during the year to Mark Frost 5–1 and Matt Clark 5–4 (after having been 4–2 ahead). This helped Douglas to finish eighth on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit.
