Stephen Black (March 31, 1927 – June 12, 2008) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League with the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Black Hawks between 1949 and 1951. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1946 to 1954, was spent in the minor leagues.^[1] Black won the Stanley Cup with Detroit in 1950.

Steve Black played five years for the Port Arthur Flyers of the TBJHL, making two trips to the Memorial Cup Tournament before joining the Pacific Coast Hockey League (PCHL).

In 1946, Black joined the Oakland Oaks of the PCHL and showed enough talent to move up to the American Hockey League the following season. After two years in the minors, he joined the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League (NHL). The 1949–50 Wings were already deep in offensive talent, with established players such as Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay and Sid Abel, so Black was told to concentrate on the defensive aspect of the game. As Black's defensive skills increased, his overall game improved, and was he selected to play in the 1950 NHL All Star Game. He won the Stanley Cup with the Red Wings. Black started the 1951 season with Detroit before being traded to the Chicago Black Hawks. He would play 39 games for Chicago that season, which would also be his last in the NHL. Black played in the minor leagues for three more seasons before retiring from hockey in 1954.
