Steven Daniel Carrington^[1] is a fictional character on the American prime time soap opera Dynasty. Steven is noteworthy as one of the earliest gay main characters on American television.^[2][3][4] Despite identifying as homosexual, Steven has relationships with both men and women throughout the series.^[3]

The role was originated by Al Corley in the show's first episode in 1981. Corley left at the end of the second season in 1982, and the role was recast in 1983 with Jack Coleman, the change in appearance attributed to plastic surgery after an oil rig explosion. Coleman remained on the show until 1988, but Corley returned to the role of Steven for the 1991 miniseries Dynasty: The Reunion when Coleman was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts.

In the 2017 reboot of the series, Steven is played by actor James Mackay.
