Steven Wayne Bedrosian, (b. December 6 1957, Methuen, Massachusetts), is a former American baseball player. Nicknamed "Bedrock", he played from 1981 to 1995 with the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, San Francisco Giants and Minnesota Twins. In 1985, his only full season as a starter, Bedrosian went 7-15 and set a Major League record for most starts without a complete game (37).

Bedrosian was traded by the Braves to the Phillies in the off-season and was converted to a reliever before the 1986 season. In his first year in relief, he saved 29 games. His best season came in 1987 when he posted a 5-3 record for the Phillies with a 2.83 earned run average, recorded a league-leading 40 saves, and was named the National League Cy Young Award winner. He was traded to the Giants during the 1989 season to help their pennant drive that year. In 1990, he won the Willie Mac Award, voted upon by his teammates, honoring his spirit and leadership.

Currently, Bedrosian resides in suburban Atlanta, where he is active in local politics. Bedrosian played college baseball at the University of New Haven and has been inducted into its hall of fame.
