Steven Chu (28. februar 1948 -)[3] je američki fizičar i nobelovac kineskog porijekla koji trenutno služi kao ministar energije u administraciji predsjednika Baracka Obame. Chu je poznat po tome što je u laboratorijama Bell Labs vršio istraživanja hlađenja i zadržavanja atoma laserskim zrakama, a za što je godine 1997. dobio Nobelovu nagradu zajedno sa Claude Cohen-Tannoudjom i Williamom Danielom Phillipsom.[3] Kada je imenovan za ministra, predavao je fiziku i molekularnu biologiju na Univerzitetu Kalifornijeu u Berkeleyu te služio kao direktor Nacionalne laboratorije Lawrence Berkley, gdje se proučavaju biološki sistemi na jednomolekularnoj razini.[1] Prije toga je predavao fiziku na Univerzitetu Stanford. Poznat je kao vatreni zagovornik alternativnih izvora energije, ali i nuklearne energije, te tvrdi da je oslobađanje svijeta o ovisnosti o fosilnim gorivima ključan preduvjet borbe protiv klimatskih promjena.[4][5][6] Chu predlaže stvaranje globalne "glukozne ekonomije" - oblika niskokarbonske ekonomije u kojoj bi se glukoza iz tropskog bilja danas iskorištavala na isti način kao nafta.[7]

Chu je također poznat i kao tvorac prijedloga da se krovovi zgrada boje u bijelo kako bi se time reflektirala sunčeva svjetlost u svemir, odnosno tako umanjio efekt globalnog zatopljenja.
