Igors Stepanovs (born 21 January 1976) is a Latvian professional football coach and a former player who played as a defender.

In 2000, Arsenal captain Tony Adams was injured, prompting Arsène Wenger to sign Stepanovs for a transfer fee of £1.35 million.

He started the season well, scoring a goal for Arsenal in a 2–1 League Cup defeat against Ipswich Town on his debut.

[1] His playing time grew until a match against Manchester United, when both sides were battling for the Premier League title.

Six would not normally be enough to earn a medal but he was an unused substitute on the day Arsenal clinched the title against Manchester United at Old Trafford, the scene of his lowest point the season before.

He was released by Shinnik on 9 July 2008 and in April 2009 he signed for Latvian side RFS/Olimps, but a year later re-joined his previous team FK Jūrmala.

[6] During his time at FK Jūrmala, Stepanovs worked as a player-coach assisting the club's manager Vladimirs Babičevs.
