Kenny Steppe (born November 14, 1988 in Antwerp) is a Belgian football goalkeeper who currently plays for K.F.C. Germinal Beerschot.

As a child, he played in the K.F.C. Germinal Beerschot youth ranks. However after a few years, he came around to play for rivals Royal Antwerp FC, returning to Germinal in the 2006-2007 season as a free agent. He is estimated to be worth around 2 million euro's now.

Kenny debuted on February 3, 2007 against RAEC Mons due to the injury of Luciano Da Silva.

The 2007-2008 season proved to be his great breakthrough, becoming the first goalie after 6 matchdays.

In April 2008, it became known that Chelsea F.C. and Tottenham Hotspur had interest for the young Belgian goalkeeper.
