Steve McQueen is the second album by Prefab Sprout, released on Kitchenware Records in 1985. The album art references the lifelong passion of Steve McQueen for Triumph motorcycles and his 1963 movie The Great Escape.

The album title was changed by Epic Records to Two Wheels Good for US releases in fears that McQueen’s estate would file a lawsuit for use of the actor’s name.

The band's name is set in the Black weight of Palatino, while the album title is set in the Regular. Same goes for the back cover.
