Braith Anasta (born January 14, 1982 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) is an Australian rugby league player for the Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League competition and also for New South Wales & Australia. He previously played for the Canterbury Bulldogs from 2000 to 2005. His position of choice is at Five-Eighth, though he also plays Lock.

Braiths switch to the Roosters has failed to live up to expectations. He was again awarded the Most Over Rated player in the game as voted by his peers in the Rugby League Week Player Poll.

On 26th July he was reported to have suffered a groin injury which put him out of the remainder of the 2006 NRL season.

In 2007 Braith will be shifted to Lock under new roosters coach Chris Anderson. After undergoing surgery on his groin late 2006 Braith will be back to 100% fitness by the start or the 2007 NRL season and the roosters 100th season.
