Brad Boyd (born 10 August 1971) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy and the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League during the 1990s.
Boyd started his AFL career in 1992 with Fitzroy and played mainly as a ruck-rover, although he was also used as a half back flanker and at centre half forward. He was a best and fairest winner in 1995, his first season as captain. He was also captain in 1996 before the club merged with the Brisbane Bears. Boyd thus has the distinction of being Fitzroy's last ever AFL captain. In 1997 he joined the newly formed Brisbane Lions for their inaugural season. He was the club's first signing.

“Unhappy is the man for evermair
That tills the sand and sawis in the air;
But twice unhappier is he, I lairn,
That feidis in his hairt a mad desire
And follows on a woman thro the fire,
Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.”
—Mark Alexander Boyd (1563–1601)
