Jason Brisbane (born March 8, 1983 in London, England is a American football player and coach. He was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2008 and currently is defensive coordinator of the Leicester Falcons.
In Britain, he was able to make up for that lack of size with speed, aggression and what coaches like to refer to as 'a nose for the ball' as a linebacker. He quickly played his way into the Great Britain teams at youth and then senior level and in 2004 he set a team record for the London Blitz by recording 22 tackles in a game. He was named the British American Football League's Most Valuable Player in the same year.
In 2008 Brisbane moved to the US and was picked up by the San Diego Chargers practice squad, but was released at the end of the season.
In 2011 Brisbane joined British American Football team Leicester Falcons as defensive coordinator.
