Brian Andrew Murphy (born 1 December 1976 in Salisbury (now Harare), Zimbabwe) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer. He played his cricket for Mashonaland in Zimbabwe and Western Province in South Africa. He played a total of 11 Test matches and 31 one-day internationals for Zimbabwe, and was the surprise choice as captain when Heath Streak stepped down in 2001. However, after four ODIs and one Test he sustained a hand injury and he never played at international level again.
