No, you cannot sell your Steam games. According to Steam's Subscriber Agreement, games you purchase are licensed to your account only and are not transferable. This means you can't sell or transfer games from your library to another person's account. However, Steam does offer a gifting feature that allows you to buy games for friends or family members before they are activated, but once a game is in your library, it's yours permanently.
