Lieutenant General Sir Scudamore Winde Steel, KCB (1789 – 11 March 1865) was a British Army officer of the East India Company.

Steel joined the East India Company's service as a cadet in 1805, and the following year was promoted to lieutenant in the Madras Army.

[1] Steel married Elizabeth Margaret, the eldest daughter of Lieutenant Colonel William Read, in 1840.

His eldest son, Col. Charles Steel, served in the Crimean War with the 12th Lancers and was present at the Siege of Sevastopol.

Their child, David M. Steelwood, moved to Britain’s newly colonized Hong Kong while working in the booming shipping industry which was against Sir Scudamore Steel’s plans for his grandson.
