Brendan Ormsby (born 1 October 1960 in Birmingham, England) is a former English professional footballer. A central defender, Ormsby played for Aston Villa, Leeds United, Shrewsbury, Doncaster, Waterford United, Scarborough F.C. and Wigan.

During his later years he has worked as a coach at Senior and Junior levels, including a spell working with Lawnswood Lasers JFC.

He formerly worked as a postman in Leeds, alongside coaching junior football. Despite being born in Birmingham, Brendan speaks with an Irish accent.

Brendan is also the honorary president of the Scarborough Branch of the Leeds United Member’s Club. He attends the club’s annual ‘On The Road’ evening and his role has led to a beer being named after him. Ormsby's Bitter is brewed by the Wold Top brewery and can be sampled at the Spa Complex on the town’s sea front.

Brendan has just been appointed as First Team Manager at Pontefract Collieries.
