Steve Whiteman (born August 28, 1956) is an American-born rock vocalist, best known for being the lead singer of Kix.

Whiteman first started his career in a Led Zeppelin cover band and joined Kix in 1978 when they were known as "The Shooze". The group has released seven studio albums and one live album with Whiteman on vocals, however the band went on hiatus in 1996 due to growing tensions within the band, a decline in the popularity of hard rock, and declining record sales of their album $how Bu$ine$$. Over the past 30 years he has been instrumental in keeping the band together during various personnel changes.

Whiteman later went on to form Funny Money with Billy Andrews that same year and the group has released four studio albums since its founding.

In 2003, the members of Kix, sans Purnell, reformed with bassist, vocalist and songwriter Mark Schenker (originally from Centerfold) and has since released the critically acclaimed Rock Your Face Off in 2014. This had led to a resurgence in the band's popularity and they maintain an active touring schedule throughout the country.

Whiteman also teaches vocals and music theory in the Baltimore area, two of his students being Jordan White (musician) and Lzzy Hale.

Over his career, Whiteman has released 11 studio albums and 1 live album.
