Brendan Ryan (born 1 July 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne and Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
A Myrtleford recruit, Ryan made two appearances for North Melbourne in the 1983 VFL season, then didn't feature at all in 1984.[1][2] On his return game in 1985, North Melbourne's one point win over Melbourne at the MCG in round six, Ryan kicked five goals.[2] That was followed up with four goals the next weekend, when North Melbourne defeated Essendon.[2][3] He played another nine games that year, then four in 1986, before crossing to Fitzroy mid-season.[2] His only appearances for Fitzroy came in their round 15 win over Carlton at Waverley Park.[2]
