Steven Spurrier (July 13 1878 – March 11 1961) was a British artist and painter.

After his apprenticeship to his silversmith father, Spurrier studied art and became a freelance magazine illustrator. His work appeared in magazines such as "The Graphic", "Illustrated London News" and the "Radio Times". He also produced posters for theatrical productions and illustrated books. He also painted and was exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1913, his subjects included circus performers. During the First World War, he worked with the Admiralty developing dazzle camouflage for ships.

He produced illustrations for Swallows and Amazons, the first book in the children's series by Arthur Ransome, but Ransome did not like the illustrations which were not used except for the dust jacket and map. Later editions had illustrations by Clifford Webb and then by Ransome himself.
