Dean Elmer Steinkuhler (born January 27, 1961) was an American football player. He attended the University of Nebraska, where he won the Outland Trophy, given to the nation's top offensive lineman, in 1983. This marked the third consecutive time a Cornhusker had won the award as Dave Rimington had won back to back Outland Trophies in 1981 and 1982. Like his predecessor, Steinkuhler is one of only eleven Cornhuskers to have his number retired by the team.
Steinkuhler is also legendary for being the player who picked up quarterback Turner Gill's intentional fumble in the 1984 Orange Bowl and ran it 17 yards for a touchdown in a play later dubbed the "Fumblerooski".
