Sheffield Legends is a Walk of Fame located outside Sheffield Town Hall honouring famous people from or connected to Sheffield. Like the Hollywood version, there are plaques with famous people's names on them and why they are famous.

The idea was first suggested in 2005 when the people of Sheffield were asked who should be honoured after a local resident suggested honouring the Sheffield footballer Gordon Banks.

To date, the inductees are:

Name Occupation Date of induction
Gordon Banks Footballer
Sean Bean Actor
Jarvis Cocker Singer
Joe Cocker Singer 15 December 2007
Sebastian Coe Athlete, politician
Derek Dooley Footballer 4 December 2007
