Steel City or Dein Perry's Steel City is a soundtrack by New Zealand-born artist Tim Finn which was released in 1998 on Columbia Records/Sony Records. Finn has been a member of Split Enz, Crowded House and Finn Brothers.

The soundtrack, was used for Steel City, Sydney Theatre Company's tap dance production, created by Australian choreographer, Dein Perry, with all tracks written or co-written by Finn. Finn co-wrote "Drop Out" and "Road Trip" with Marie Azcona, his wife; he co-wrote "Where I Live" with Mike Chunn, a former Split Enz bandmate. For the work Finn used the Steel City Band and additional musicians.

The show's run premiered on 3 January 1998 at Sydney Casino's Star City Showroom with Finn as music director. Mark Woods of Variety described Finn's score, "while live, thunderously loud rock music, composed by [Finn ...] gives the action some punch, it often threatens to overpower parts of the show and frequently necessitates straining to hear the tapping."
