Steven Heard Fales (born March 17, 1970) is a playwright and actor who has gained broad recognition in both the gay community and the LDS community for his one-man play, Confessions of a Mormon Boy.

Following a divorce, a battle with homosexuality, and excommunication from the LDS Church, Fales became a male prostitute and developed an addiction to crystal meth. Eventually, however, he abandoned this lifestyle and began a journey toward self-acceptance. It detailed his life, first as a devout Mormon trying to live up to his faith, then as a rebel against his former values, and finally as a man approaching peace with himself. Its first reading was at the Sunstone Symposium in Salt Lake City in 2001.

Fales' most recent production, also autobiographical, is titled Missionary Position and is part two in The Mormon Boy Trilogy. Part three is called Who's Your Daddy?.

Mormon-American Princess is his cabaret act and deals with the subject of narcissism. It premiered in San Francisco in February, 2008, and has played Joe's Pub, New York City.
