Ian Brumby (born 17 September 1964) is an English former professional snooker player.
Born in 1964, Brumby turned professional in 1989. His first season brought a run to the last 32 at the 1990 Classic, where he defeated Eric Lawlor 5–4, having trailed 2–4, the declining John Spencer 5–1 and benefited from the withdrawal of his last-64 opponent Jimmy White. His last-32 match against Silvino Francisco was a one-sided affair; Francisco beat Brumby 5–0. In qualifying for that year's World Championship, Brumby defeated two veterans - sixty-five-year-old Bert Demarco and seventy-six-year-old Fred Davis, both 10–6, but was eliminated by Paddy Browne in the last 96 by the same scoreline.
The following season was barren, Brumby's only notable performance coming in the 1990 International One-Frame Shoot-out, where he beat Matt Gibson, Ian Black, Steve Meakin and Neal Foulds before losing his quarter-final 'match' 29–69 to Jason Whittaker.
Further poor form riddled the early 1990s, but Brumby recorded his first round-of-32 finish at a ranking event in the 1994 International Open; there, opponents included Steve Newbury and Doug Mountjoy, but he exited the tournament with a 1–5 loss to James Wattana.
At the end of the 1993/1994 season, Brumby reached his highest ranking of 69th, and the next season heralded another last-32 finish, at the 1994 Grand Prix, where he beat Michael Judge, Nick Fruin, Drew Henry and Mick Price to set up a meeting with Jimmy Michie. In their match, Michie trailed 1–4, but fought back to win 5–4.
At the 1996 European Open, Brumby again progressed to the last 32 but no further; en route to a match against Dave Harold, he had beaten Martin Dziewialtowski, whitewashed Nick Walker, veteran Cliff Thorburn and Jeff Cundy and overcome another Canadian, Alain Robidoux, but Harold was comfortable in defeating him 5–2.
