Brian Fernández (born 26 September 1994) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Primera División de Chile side Unión La Calera, on loan from Racing Club, as a forward.
On 23 August 2017, Fernández joined Ligue 1 side FC Metz on a one-year loan deal. Metz secured an option to sign him permanently.
Fernández tested positive for a prohibited substance at two in-competition controls in May 2015, and was subsequently handed a three-month ban from sports by AFA, with the ban ending 3 September 2015. The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) did however seek a two-year ban for him, and he was still suspended in late September 2015. On 28 October it was announced that he had been banned for two years. The substance he had tested positive for was cocaine.
Due to all of those positive drug results, he was moved to the reserve team of Racing Club in 2016.
