Brian Waltrip (born January 12, 1978 in Pensacola, Florida) is an American soccer player, who currently plays for Sandefjord of the Norwegian Tippeligaen as an attacking midfielder.

Waltrip played college soccer at the University of South Florida and was a Hermann Trophy candidate in 1999. He was selected in the fifth round of the 2000 MLS Superdraft by the Tampa Bay Mutiny. He opted out of this contract and chose instead to play for Tampere United of the Veikkausliiga in Finland. He spent only one season in Finland then signed with Desportivo Olivais e Moscavide of the Portuguese Second Division.

After a short stint in Portugal, Waltrip went back up north to play with Mandalskameratene in Norway. After one successful season there his contract was bought by Sandefjord, where he remains today.
