Brigitte Foster-Hylton, née Foster (born November 7, 1974 in Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica) is a Jamaican hurdling athlete.

Like fellow Jamaican hurdler Delloreen Ennis-London she was a mediocre hurdler until 2000, when she lowered her personal best by 65/100. Having improved greatly, she finished 8th at the 2000 Olympics. In Athens 2004 she pulled out of the semi finals.

She won the bronze medal in the 100 meter hurdles at the 2005 World Championships.
