- Almost faced charges of child endangerment in early January 2004 for doing a crocodile demonstration while holding his one-month-old son in one arm and feeding a 13-foot crocodile with the other. Steve and Terri claim that their son was in no danger and that both their children were going to be croc savvy.
- Was awarded the Centenary Medal for his service to global conservation and to Australian tourism. (2001)
- Nickname: The Crocodile Hunter / Steveo
- Is scared to death of parrots, especially the sulfar crested cockatoo. When he was four years old he almost had his nose bitten off by his father's pet sulfar crest. The only bird he feels comfortable around is a black cockatoo named Ularoo.
- Steve and Terri's daughter, Bindi Sue Irwin, is actually named for Steve's favorite crocodile, Bindi, and his dog, Sui, who has, incidentally, appeared in numerous Croc Hunter episodes with Steve and Terri.
- Was a great fan of the Singapore Zoo, which he considered a sister institution of the Australia Zoo.

- Has a species of turtle named after him - Elseya Irwini.
- Steves dog, Sui, is a Staffordshire Bullterrier cross
- Despite all his close calls with animals, he has only had muscle surgery on his knee.
- He tells his camera crew to always be filming. If he needs help, he will ask for it. Even if he is eaten by a shark or croc, the main thing he wants is that it be filmed. If he died, he would be sad if no one got it on tape.
