Stephen James "Steve" Moneghetti, AM, is an Australian long-distance runner. Moneghetti has a degree in civil engineering, a graduate diploma in education and an honorary doctorate from the University of Ballarat. He is a personal development consultant with the Ministry of Education and chair of the Victorian Review into Physical and Sport Education in Schools. Moneghetti was not considered to be a good runner in primary school. Attempting to join little athletics his father was told that Moneghetti was not wanted. By high school, however, he had developed into an excellent endurance athlete and was well on his way to becoming one of Australia's greatest marathon runners. He is married to Tanya Moneghetti and they have four children Emma, Laura, Matthew and Olivia. He started out as a 10,000 metre runner and finished fifth in that event at the 1986 Commonwealth Games. He ran his first marathon at the same meet winning the bronze medal. His first marathon victory was in Berlin in 1990 in the time of 2:08:16, coming only a couple of weeks after winning the Great North Run in 1:00:34.
