Stephen Brian Street (born 29 March 1960 in Hackney, London) is an English record producer best known for his work with the Smiths, the Cranberries and Blur. Street collaborated with Morrissey on his debut album Viva Hate following the split of the Smiths. More recently he has worked with Kaiser Chiefs, Babyshambles and the Courteeners. For a time, he was managed by Gail Colson's company Gailforce Management. In February 2020, Street received the award for Outstanding Contribution to UK Music at the Music Producer's Guild Awards.

Street began his musical career in the late 1970s playing in various bands around London. He played bass in the new wave ska/pop group, Bim, with future Neneh Cherry/Massive Attack producer Cameron McVey. The band were featured in the Listen to London documentary film. Street started at Island Records' Fallout Shelter Studio in 1982 firstly as an "in house assistant" and then as an "in house engineer".

After hearing "She's So High", Blur's first single, Street contacted their manager. Soon after he produced their second single "There's No Other Way", Following two albums with different producers, the band worked with Street again on their 2001 album Wake Up and Smell the Coffee and the two extra tracks that were recorded for their 2002 best of album Stars: "Stars" and "New New York". After the Cranberries went on hiatus in 2003, guitarist Noel Hogan began working on solo work then called Mono Band. Street worked with Hogan in producing the album of the same name released in 2005. Street also produced the Cranberries' sixth studio album Roses, released in 2012. He also produced their final album In the End, released in 2019.

Street produced Employment, the debut album by Kaiser Chiefs, after hearing one of their early demos and contacted the band about producing them. At one point, Street brought Blur guitarist Graham Coxon into the studio to rev his moped for a sound effect. This can be heard on the track "Saturday Night". Street produced the band's second album Yours Truly, Angry Mob. Street also produced the first two albums for ska influenced indie band the Ordinary Boys: Over the Counter Culture in 2004 and Brassbound in 2005.

Street produced Shotter's Nation, the second album by Pete Doherty's band Babyshambles. The recording of the album was said to have been a hard process, due to Street's lack of co operation with Pete Doherty. Street later commented that "Pete wasn't in a very good state for the first couple of weeks of making the record for the reasons that people know about. It was a bit worrying to be honest with you. There were a couple of times I had to fire warning shots across his bow, say 'Listen, you've got to sort yourself out here because if you don't I can't work with you'. I felt like I was going to let down the rest of the band if I walked away from things." Street went on to produce the band's third album Sequel to the Prequel. Street produced Doherty's solo album Grace/Wastelands (2009). produced Shed Seven's 1998 album Let It Ride and worked with New Order. He also produced several tracks on the Longpigs second album Mobile Home in 1999. In 2001–2002, Street worked from Jacobs Studios in Farnham, Surrey to produce Wood/Water, the Promise Ring's final album, released by ANTI in 2002. Street also co produced A New Morning by Suede, released in September 2002. Street produced The Magic Treehouse, the debut album from Ooberman, and Tired of Hanging Around, the second album by the Zutons, released in the UK in April 2006. Street produced the next album by Feeder, released in 2008. Street co produced the tracks "Save Us" and "Burn the Bridges" from the band's The Singles album with lead singer Grant Nicholas.

Manchester indie band the Courteeners approached Street and after hearing demos he offered to produce their album. The album was recorded in London over a six week stretch and was named St. Jude.
