Ben Steven May (born 10 March 1984) is an English footballer who plays for Conference South side Dover Athletic as a striker.

May began his career at Southampton's youth academy in 1998, before playing at Fulham's centre of excellence for a year. In 2000, he moved once again, this time joining Millwall's youth set-up. Ahead of the 2002–03 season, May signed his first professional contract with the club, making his debut in August 2002. He was loaned out to Brentford, and then Colchester United, during his six-year tenure at Millwall. In September 2007, May joined Scunthorpe United on a three-month loan deal, which was made permanent in January 2008. However, his time at Scunthorpe was plagued with injuries, and he was subsequently released in May 2010. May signed for Stevenage on a free transfer in October 2010, and was part of the squad that earned promotion to League One during the 2010–11 season. After struggling for first-team appearances the following season, May joined League Two side Barnet on loan. He was released by Stevenage in May 2012, and subsequently signed for Dover Athletic ahead of the 2012–13 season.
