Stephen James "Steve" Mildenhall (born 13 May 1979) is an English professional footballer who plays coaches at Bristol Rovers. A goalkeeper, he has made almost 500 appearances in the Football League and over 500 games in total including cup games.
Born in Swindon, Wiltshire, Mildenhall came through the Swindon Town youth academy and was added to the club's first team in 1995. Whilst with Swindon he was loaned out to non-league sides Gloucester City and Salisbury City before moving on to Notts County in 2001, Oldham Athletic in 2004 and Grimsby Town a year later. In 2006, he signed with Yeovil Town where he spent two years before signing with Southend United in 2008 and Millwall in 2010. In May 2013, he signed for Bristol Rovers.
Mildenhall's professional career started at Swindon Town where he made 38 appearances, including one as a centre forward away at Tranmere Rovers. While at Swindon he was named young player and player of the year before securing a £150,000 transfer to Notts County. Mildenhall played 91 games for the Magpies, scoring one goal (a free-kick against Mansfield Town in a League Cup tie) which later appeared as a 'What happened next' slot on an episode of A Question of Sport. A falling out with manager Gary Mills prompted a move to Oldham Athletic in December 2004. He made six appearances for the club before breaking his finger, and he subsequently lost his place in the team.
