David Stanley Steele (born 29 September 1941) is an English former international cricketer.
Tony Greig picked him for England in 1975, when he was close to retirement from county cricket for Northamptonshire. Steele, who was born in Bradeley, Stoke-on-Trent was a middle-order batsman.
In his eight Test matches, he played against fast bowlers including Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson for Australia; and Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Wayne Daniel, and Vanburn Holder for the West Indies.
His arrival followed a period of great difficulty for the national team, mired in a difficult 1975 Ashes series.
It led to the phrase that he was like a "bank clerk that went to war".He was appointed as County Captain of Derbyshire in 1979 but resigned after six weeks.
He played for the club from 1979 to 1981.
