Tilson Manuel Brito Jiménez (born May 28, 1972 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a Dominican former professional baseball third baseman. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Toronto Blue Jays and Oakland Athletics. He also played in the KBO League for the SK Wyverns and Hanwha Eagles, and in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the Uni-President Lions.

Brito played parts of two seasons in Major League Baseball with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Oakland Athletics, last appearing in the major leagues in 1997.

He resurfaced in Korea in 2000, playing six seasons in the KBO League, for the SK Wyverns (2000–2001, 2004), the Samsung Lions (2002–2003), and the Hanwha Eagles (2005). For his KBO career, he hit .292 with 112 home runs and 391 RBI. With six seasons in the KBO, Brito had one of the longest careers of any foreign player.

From 2006–2008, he played for the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions of Chinese Professional Baseball League in Taiwan.

In the 2007 season, Brito had 33 home runs and 107 RBI, leading the league in both categories. His 33 homers set the record for most home runs in a single season of Chinese Professional Baseball League. (The record was later broken by Kuo-Hui Kao, who hit 39 home runs in the 2015 season.) Brito again led the CPBL in home runs and RBI in 2008, with 24 and 102 respectively.
