Ben Steven May (born 10 March 1984) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker.
May began his career at Southampton's youth academy in 1998, before spending a year at Fulham's centre of excellence. In 2000, he joined Millwall's youth set-up and signed his first professional contract ahead of the 2002–03 season, making his debut in August 2002. During his six-year spell at Millwall, he was loaned out to Brentford and Colchester United. In September 2007, May joined Scunthorpe United on a three-month loan agreement, which was made permanent in January 2008. His time at Scunthorpe was disrupted by injuries, and he was 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. He spent two months on loan at League Two club Barnet in March 2012. He was released by Stevenage and subsequently signed for Dover Athletic ahead of the 2012–13 season. After one season at Dover, he joined Ebbsfleet United in June 2013, where he spent two years. He signed for Bromley in January 2015 and spent a year and a half playing there before becoming the club's fitness coach.
