Levance E. Fields (born June 14, 1987) is a college basketball player for the University of Pittsburgh Panthers. He hails from Brooklyn, NY and attended the prestigious basketball school Xaverian High School.

Fields was named New York Player of the Year by the New York Daily News and Newsday. He currently finished his sophomore season as the starting point guard for Pitt. He averaged 9.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game for the Panthers in 2006-07.
