Brett Seymour (born 27 September 1984 in Mackay, Queensland) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for English club Whitehaven. His usual position is in the halves. Seymour previously played in the National Rugby League for the Brisbane Broncos, Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and New Zealand Warriors before moving to England where he joined Super League club, Hull F.C..
On contract with the Brisbane Broncos from a young age, Seymour was a standout school boy performer, leading the St Patrick's Mackay schoolboy side to victory in the Confraternity Cup. Other schoolboys from the same age group included Grant Rovelli and former Manly centre, Ashley Alberts.
Seymour made his NRL debut in 2002 for the Brisbane Broncos against St. George Illawarra Dragons on 26 May 2002. He went on to make sixty two appearances for the club. In 2006, accusations were made by a female against Brett Seymour over an alleged incident at Brisbane's Regatta Hotel. No criminal charges were laid after a police investigation failed to find sufficient evidence.
After a mixture of promising football and injury woes as the Brisbane Broncos' new halfback, Seymour departed the club in 2007 over disciplinary issues.
Seymour joined the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks on a 2-year contract, from 2007. Seymour had a number of stand-out games including one against the Eels when he kicked a 35-metre field goal in the fifth minute of golden point extra time to steer his side to a thrilling 25-24 victory.
When he was coming to the end of his first Cronulla contract Seymour was linked with a move to London-based Super League franchise Harlequins, however he signed a further two-year deal to stay at the Sharks. Seymour's 2008 season ended unfortunately when he injured his knee in week two of the finals in a team game of soccer where he collided with fellow shark, Danny Nutley.
