Rodney Seib (born 1975) is an Australian professional rugby union coach, and a former player for Queensland Reds, and Glasgow Warriors.
Rod Seib attended Brisbane State High School, graduating in 1992. His father, Ian Seib, played first-class cricket for Queensland in the 1970s.
Seib joined the Sunnybank rugby club in Brisbane. He played for the Queensland Under-21 team in 1995, and was capped for the Australia 7s side, touring in 1999 to Uruguay and Argentina.
Later that year, after a standout season with Sunnybank for which he was awarded Queensland Rugby Union's XXXX Medal for player of the year (shared with Richard Graham of Easts), Seib was selected to play for the Queensland Reds in the Ricoh National championship. He was capped three times for Queensland, including a match against Argentina on their 2000 tour.
Seib moved to Scotland the following year. Signing in 2001, he played for Aberdeen GSFP. Seib captained the Aberdeen side from 2002-06. He was also included in Aberdeen's Sevens squad.
In season 2002-03, Seib was called up to Glasgow Warriors back up squad. Such was his form for club side Aberdeen, there was much talk of Seib's move to the provincial Glasgow side being made permanent, however, work commitments prevented him joining Glasgow full-time. He played in the Warriors' match against Harlequins in 9 August 2002.
Seib won the Player's player of the year for the BT Premiership in 2003-04.
Seib was made Head Coach of Aberdeen in 2011. From 2012 he coached Sunnybank Rugby. He later became an Assistant Coach at Brisbane City, with responsibility for the team's attack. In 2016 he was promoted to Brisbane City's Head Coach.
