Brian Kamm (born September 3, 1961) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.

Kamm joined the PGA Tour in 1990, earning his card through qualifying school. He struggled during his rookie year on Tour, only cracking the top-50 once but he retained his card through qualifying school. In his second year on Tour his play improved and he recorded a tie for eighth finish at the Canadian Open. He was also in contention at the U.S. Open but shot a final round 79 (+7) and finished in a tie for 31st. He joined the Nationwide Tour in 1992 and quickly found success. He recorded nine top-10 finishes including a win at the Ben Hogan Panama City Beach Classic. This success helped him finish 7th on the money list, good enough for a PGA Tour card for 1993. In his return to the PGA Tour he finished 94th on the money list, the best finish of his career and recorded three top-10 finishes. His success continued in 1994 and he finished 98th on the money list while recording three top-10 finishes including a tie for sixth finish at the Bell Canadian Open, the best finish of his career on Tour. In 1995 he finished 118th on the money list while recording two top-10 finishes. His play declined in 1996 and he finished 190th on the money list. He returned to the Nationwide Tour in 1997 and played well, recording five top-5 finishes including three runner-ups. This helped him finish 8th on the money list, good enough for a PGA Tour card for 1998. In his return to the PGA Tour he struggled and finished 189th on the money list. He returned to the Nationwide Tour in 1999 and would play on the Tour until 2003. During that time he recorded seven top-10 finishes, five of which came in 2001.

He currently coaches the men's and women's golf team at King University in Bristol, Tennessee.
