Brinn John Bevan (born 16 June 1997 in Southend-on-Sea) is a British artistic gymnast. He was part of the first men's team to win a Team medal at a World Gymnastics Championships for Great Britain in Glasgow on 28 October 2015.

In 2012, Brinn was part of the Gold winning team at the 2012 European Gymnastics Championships in Montpelier.

In 2014, he was again chosen for the Junior team at the European Gymnastics Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he not only helped to secure another Gold for the British team, but individually won silver medals on Parallel Bars and Still Rings, and Bronze in the All-Around behind his teammate Nile Wilson who won Gold and Valentin Starikov of Russia.

In 2015, Brinn made his Senior debut for the international squad competing at the European Games in Baku where he won a Bronze medal on the Pommel Horse

Later that year he was chosen to compete at the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow, Scotland where he helped the team qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games. The team went on to win Silver in the Team Finals, which was Britain's first team medal for the men (the women's team had made history by winning Britain's first ever team medal when they secured the Bronze the previous evening). On 21 November Bevan was training on vault and after an odd landing he broke his fibula and tibia on his left leg and had to undergo surgery and months of physical therapy.

On 12 July 2016 he was selected for the 2016 British Olympic team along with Louis Smith, Nile Wilson, Kristian Thomas and Max Whitlock.
