Steely Dan - Sampled
Recordings that have used samples from Steely
Dan tracks
Here's a list I've put together recently after much research; a definitive guide to those artists and their songs that dared (sometimes) to sample the songs of Steely Dan.
The list includes - perhaps unsurprisingly - many contemporary Hip-Hop, Rap and Dance artists. In some cases (such as with De La Soul's 'Eye Know') the sample used is quite obvious in the mix and practically forms the backbone of the track.
*Tracks marked with an asterisk contain obvious musical elements of the original Steely Dan/Donald Fagen track rather than audio samples taken directly from the original recording.
If any of you guys know of any other Steely/Fagen sampled tracks that aren't on my list, please let me know!

Steelmatic
Remix. Mash-up. Two ways to describe Steelmatic. It was created
by a couple of guys from the States, Manz & Mr. Fantaztix, who took
the classic 2001 Nas album Stillmatic and retooled it using
Steely Dan samples. This album dosn't appear on the above 'Steely Sampled'
list as it's not a commercial release. Here's a link to download the
album for free.

De La Dan (De La Soul x Steely Dan)
Major Brain's latest project, 'De La Dan (De La Soul x Steely Dan)' is pretty interesting. It's basically Six De La Soul tracks, each one using Steely Dan samples. Props to Major Brain.
