Brett Douglas Pitman (born 31 January 1988) is a Jèrriais footballer who plays as a forward for Shaftesbury on dual-registration with Baffins Milton Rovers. He spent most of his professional career at AFC Bournemouth in two separate spells, totalling 102 goals in 301 games.

After starting his career on his native island, he moved to Bournemouth as a 16-year-old and went on to become a regular in their first team, helping them avoid relegation from The Football League in 2009 and earn promotion a year later. In August 2010, he moved to Championship side Bristol City.

In November 2012 he was loaned back to Bournemouth, until making the deal permanent in January 2013, and contributed to them winning the Football League Championship title in 2015. He then signed for Ipswich Town, then Portsmouth two years later.
