Gösta Stevens (1 February 1897 – 24 September 1964) was a Swedish screenwriter and film director.
Gösta Stevens began his career as a journalist, but soon began writing couplets for local revues. Stevens offered Karl-Ewert Christenson his services before a summer revue at Kristallsalongen in 1924. To this he wrote the couplet Kom som du ä. Soon, Ernst Rolf took notice of the young writer and Steven wrote many numbers for him. He was also the author of many of Björn Hodell's and Kar de Mumma's revues.
Stevens also wrote other lyrics. Among other things, he wrote the lyrics to Sommarnatt (with music by Mogens Schrader), often sung by Jussi Björling. He also wrote the lyrics to I have become much better now in the old days, sung by Zarah Leander.
Stevens was one of Swedish film's most prolific screenwriters – between 1930 and 1954 he wrote almost 50 scripts.
He was married to actress Ruth Stevens 1928–1932. He later married Sonja Stevens, born 21 December 1918. Stevens is buried at Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm.
