Brian Herbert Lesher (born March 5, 1971) is a Belgian former professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, and Toronto Blue Jays.

Lesher was born in Belgium where his father, John, a former West Virginia Mountaineers basketball player, was playing professional basketball.

Lesher entered the majors in 1996 with the Oakland Athletics, playing for three consecutive years before joining the Seattle Mariners (2000) and Toronto Blue Jays (2002). His most productive season came in 1997 with Oakland, when he posted career-highs in games (46), home runs (4), runs batted in (17), runs scored (17), and stolen bases (4). Brian is the only person born in Belgium to play Major League Baseball.
