Branden Oliver (born May 7, 1991) is an American football running back for the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Buffalo.
Oliver was born in Miami, Florida and attended Miami Southridge High School, where he played football and ran track. At Southridge, Oliver was a two-time captain and two time letter winner for head coach Rodney Hunter. As a senior, he rushed for 1,159 yards on 194 carries (6.0 ypc) and scored 15 touchdowns, and also had three catches for 61 yards and a score. He was selected to play in the North Florida vs. South Florida All-Star Classic and the Dade vs. Broward All-Star Game. Oliver has said that growing up in the competitive football environment of South Florida motivated him to perform to his full potential for fear of being overlooked. Buffalo was the only school to offer him a football scholarship out of high school.
In track & field, Oliver competed in sprinting, jumping and even throwing events. In sprints, he recorded a PR of 11.26 seconds in the 100-meter dash at the 2009 Sam Burley Hall of Fame Meet, where he placed 11th. In jumps, he cleared 13.5 meters in the triple jump.

Oliver played college football at the State University of New York at Buffalo from 2010 to 2013. He set the school record for career rushing yards, breaking a record previously held by James Starks. Starks had predicted that Oliver would break his record in 2009 when Starks was a senior and Oliver was still in his redshirt year. He ended his career with 4,094 career rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns.
