Brian Harris (born February 27, 1982) is an Australian rules footballer.
Picked late in the 2001 AFL Draft at pick 71 from Woodville West-Torrens, Harris was a relatively late developer. Making his AFL debut late in the 2002 season, he was seen as a raw fullback who was some way from fully developing.
However, by the 2005 season, Harris' jobs in blanketing some of the best full-forwards in the game were seen as outstanding. He had come of age and shown significant improvement, much like many other of his Western Bulldogs teammates (such as Daniel Giansiracusa, Robert Murphy and Dale Morris), which led the team to within half a game of a finals berth.
After a two-week suspension which resulted in him missing the first two premiership matches, Harris made his return against St. Kilda, where he was given the job on Fraser Gehrig.
In 2007 he has developed into one of the best full backs in the competition. His season will be remembered for the match against St. Kilda where he held two time Coleman Medal winner Fraser Gehrig to no possessions for the entire match.
