Steven Otis (born December 27, 1956) is an American politician from the state of New York. He is a member of the New York State Assembly, representing the 91st district. Otis was elected to the Assembly in November 2012, taking office on January 1, 2013.[1] He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Otis served as chief of staff to State Senator Suzi Oppenheimer, and mayor of Rye, New York, from 1998 through 2009, when he was defeated for reelection by Douglas French.[2] When Assemblyman George S. Latimer chose to run for the State Senate seat vacated by Oppenheimer in the 2012 elections rather than seek reelection, Otis chose to run for Latimer's seat.[3][4] Otis has served in the New York State Legislature since 2013.
