Bryan Namoff (born May 28, 1979 in Carson City, Nevada) is an American soccer defender, who currently plays for D.C. United of Major League Soccer.

Namoff played college soccer at Bradley University from 1997 to 2000; he was a first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection in 1999 and 2000, and scored a total of 32 goals and 17 assists while with the team.

Following his graduation, Namoff was selected 15th overall by Thomas Rongen of United in the 2001 MLS SuperDraft. Namoff made a significant impact as a rookie, registering seven assists in only 15 games while playing in the midfield. However, a change of coaches in the offseason brought Ray Hudson to the team, and Namoff's time was significantly curtailed, as he appeared in only 11 games in 2002, spending much of his time with the Richmond Kickers. In 2003, he began seeing more playing time for United at right back, appearing in 22 games and registering one assist. In 2004, Namoff locked down the right back position, starting 27 games for the team, scoring two assists. Namoff has continued to be first choice on the right side of United's back line ever since.
