Steinhatchee (/ˈstiːnhætʃi/ STEEN-hatch-ee) is a Gulf coastal community in the southern part of Taylor County, Florida, United States. Steinhatchee is 38 miles (61 km) south of the county seat of Perry. Just across the Steinhatchee River is Jena, which is in Dixie County. Steinhatchee is 19.27 miles north of the town of Cross City.

Since the early 19th century, the village of Steinhatchee played an integral part in the foresting industry, particularly cedar used for making pencils, as well as fishing, crabbing and scalloping.[citation needed] The Steinhatchee River also flows by the community and into the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane Idalia struck the village of approximately 600 citizens on August 30, 2023 with a storm surge of 6 ft and 80 mph winds that escalated every hour.[4]
At about 7 a.m. local time (EDT) on August 5, 2024, Hurricane Debby made landfall near Steinhatchee with maximum winds estimated at 80 mph.[5][6][7]
