Steven Caldwell (born 12 September 1980) is a retired Scottish footballer who played as a defender, predominantly as a centre back. Caldwell won 12 caps for the Scotland national team and has played over 300 league matches in his career, primarily in the top three tiers of English football.
His younger brother Gary was also a defender and Scotland international and was formerly the manager of Wigan Athletic.
Born in Stirling, Caldwell began his career in England with Premier League club Newcastle United, along with his younger brother Gary. He was released by Newcastle in 2004, having previously been loaned out to Blackpool, where he scored his first career goal, against Stoke City in the Football League Trophy, and Bradford City. In 2004 he joined fellow Premier League club Leeds United on loan as part of a loan swap for Michael Bridges who went in the opposite direction, Caldwell was unable to prevent Leeds being relegated to the Championship. During his loan spell he scored once in the league, against Blackburn Rovers, which helped earn Leeds a 2–1 victory. For Newcastle he made 28 league appearances and scored twice, against Bradford City in the League Cup and Middlesbrough in the league. Once released by Newcastle, he joined local rivals Sunderland.
