Brian Flood (born 22 June 1971 in Dublin) is a former Irish footballer who played as a defender and midfielder for Shelbourne in the Football League of Ireland.

Flood first played for Shelbourne in the 1989/90 season and scored the goal that wrapped up Shels first league title for thirty years when the title was secured in Dundalk in 1992.

In the 1996 FAI Cup Final against St. Patrick's Athletic he took over as goalkeeper after Alan Gough was sent off after just twenty minutes. At the time only three subs were allowed and manager Damien Richardson chose not to put a goalkeeper on the bench. Flood performed heroically and helped Shels secure a 1-1 draw and returned to his usual outfield role for the replay which Shels won 2-1.

He played for Shamrock Rovers in a youth tournament in the Netherlands in 1990.
