Steve Axman (born June 10, 1947) is an American football coach who is the quarterbacks coach of the Arizona Hotshots of the Alliance of American Football (AAF). He was the head coach at Northern Arizona University from 1990 to 1997, compiling an overall record of 48 wins and 41 losses. Axman also served in the same capacity at Nicholls State University in 2014. He inherited the program in mid-September 2014, after being hired on an interim basis to replace Charlie Stubbs who had resigned after three games due to health issues. He was replaced by Tim Rebowe at the end of the season.

After spending 2018 in the Indoor Football League as the Arizona Rattlers' offensive coordinator, Axman joined the Hotshots for the 2019 AAF season.
