Steve Warnek (born 12 May 1969) is an American science fiction screenwriter.

Following successful entry to its open submissions policy, Warnek was accepted as freelance writer at Star Trek:The Next Generation in 1994. A subsequent pitch landed him on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's third season, writing The Abandoned (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) for the show's Dominion story arc.

Warnek returned to freelance status for the subsequent shows Star Trek:Voyager and Star Trek:Enterprise. He has also spoken at the OMSCI:Federation Science exhibit about writing for the show.

Since then, he has worked on an unsuccessful fan production of a revival of Space:1999 called "Moonbase Alpha:Legacy".

In 2023, Warnek began production of an independent audio drama called HELIOS, written with Robert E. Wood in collaboration with script editor Christopher Penfold. Volume One was directed by Glenn Campbell, with narration provided by actor Nick Tate. Volume One of the series (of seven episodes) was released on Big Finish Productions during December 2024.

Warnek has also worked at Bell Labs at its Whippany and Murray Hill campuses in New Jersey.
