Steve "Kid" Penney (born January 16, 1964 in Ballymena) was a Northern Ireland football player, normally deployed as a right winger.

Kid Penney started his career with hometown Ballymena United, before moving to England with Brighton & Hove Albion in 1983. Penney spent 8 seasons playing for Brighton in the second and third tier of English football before a single season cameo with Heart of Midlothian in 1991-92.
