Steven Dykstra (born December 1, 1962 in Edmonton, Alberta) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. He played in the National Hockey League with the Buffalo Sabres, Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Hartford Whalers.
In his NHL career, Dykstra appeared in 217 games. He scored eight goals and added 32 assists.
In 1988 he played 27 games for Buffalo Sabres before being traded to Edmonton for Scott Metcalfe. He played 15 of the season's last 21 games for Edmonton.
