Steven Renouf (born 8 June 1970 in Murgon, Queensland) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s. Of Aboriginal and European descent, he was known as one of the sport's greatest centres. Renouf set numerous records for the Brisbane Broncos club. After spending eleven years with Brisbane, which yielded four premierships, he left Australia to play for English club Wigan Warriors, where he spent two seasons before retiring. He has since been named in Australia's Indigenous team of the century (1908–2007).
As a Murgon Mustangs junior and having developed his game with the Broncos since his teen years, Renouf made his debut in the first grade side in 1989. He scored his first try for the club in 1990, and the following year went on to set a new club record of four tries in a home fixture and be the Broncos' top try scorer of the 1991 Brisbane Broncos season and 1992 (along with Allan Langer) seasons. In 1992, the Broncos claimed their first premiership, winning the Winfield Cup Grand Final against St. George 28-8, which was highlighted by a 98-metre try to Renouf in the second half. After Willie Carne had somehow managed to avoid being trapped in his in-goal, Broncos captain Allan Langer passed to Renouf who stepped inside Rex Terp and took off downfield with Michael Hancock in support no one in front of him after burning Saints fullback Michael Potter for speed. Veteran Dragons winger Ricky Walford gave chase and made ground on him as Renouf tired over the final 20 metres, but failed to stop him from scoring.
