Steve Liebmann (born 1944) is a former Australian television anchor and radio broadcaster.

Liebmann is best known for co-hosting Today on the Nine Network between 1982 and 1986, and again from 1990 to 2005.

Born in Cooma, New South Wales, he attended Monaro High School. He became a journalist in Cooma on Radio 2XL while still in high school. He hosted "Teen Scene" from 5:30 pm to 6:00pm week daily playing the latest recordings. His sign off at the end of the show was "Bye, bye and you keep smiling". He moved to Canberra in 1962 and worked at 2CA, before moving to Sydney in 1967 to take up a position with Channel Seven's Sydney bureau as news editor and on-air presenter. The following year he became a senior journalist at Radio 2UE, and presented an afternoon news and public affairs program on the station which became the top show in its timeslot. He eventually became Director of News and Public Affairs at the station.

In 1976, he left to join 2SM in 1976, and also became the host of Seven's 11AM program and anchored the station's Sydney evening news. He hosted the Willesee program on several occasions and wrote articles for The Bulletin and Men In Vogue.

In late 1981 he joined the Nine Network as the original co-host of the national Today alongside Sue Kellaway, staying with that program until 1987, when he joined the Ten Network to anchor TEN-10 Sydney's Eyewitness News alongside Geraldine Doogue.

He rejoined Today in 1990 and remained at the Nine Network presenting the program across Australia five days a week until January 2005. He cited a mild heart attack and health as the reason for his retirement from the show at age 60. Steve was replaced by National Nine News US Correspondent Karl Stefanovic.
