Steven Rumbelow (also credited as Steve Rumbelow, 30 July 1949 − 27 February 2016), was a director in the entertainment industry for more than four decades.

He began in theatre at the Bristol Old Vic, subsequently becoming the youngest director for the Royal Shakespeare Company in London before forming Triple Action Theatre and then later starting on films. His career has been a melange between media productions and theatre ever since. 

Rumbelow operated his own production company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Renegade Motion Pictures, with his wife, Rachel, until his sudden death from sepsis on 27 February 2016. 

Rumbelow was born in Bristol on 30 July 1949. His mother was Rita Rumbelow, who later became a costume designer and wardrobe mistress with the BBC. 

His father was Mike Marino, a professional wrestler. At age 16 he took a summer job as a stagehand at the Bristol Old Vic and was promoted to technical stage manager within six weeks. He started directing professionally the following year.

Following a move to Canada he started a post-graduate improvisation program at York University in Toronto. Establishing contacts throughout North America, he also worked extensively as a director in Chicago.
