Let F be a non archimedean local field of characteristic not 2. Let D be a division algebra of dimension d2 over its center F, and E a quadratic extension of F. If m is a positive integer, to a character χ of E^*, one can attach the Steinberg representation St(χ) of G=GL(m,D⊗F E). Let H be the group GL(m,D), we prove that St(χ) is H-distinguished if and only if χ|F^* is the quadratic character ηE/Fmd-1, where ηE/F is the character of F^* with kernel the norms of E^*. We also get multiplicity one for the space of invariant linear forms. As a corollary, we see that the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence preserves distinction for Steinberg representations.
