Brian Dutton (born 12 April 1985) is an English professional football coach and former player who manages Salisbury.

In a 16-year-long playing career, Dutton was a versatile player who was often fielded in a variety of positions in defence, midfield and attack. Apart from a short spell in the Third Division with Cambridge United he spent his entire career playing non-league football, most notably for Salisbury City where he earned two promotions as club captain.

After retiring as a player he went into coaching at Bristol Rovers, joining up with former Salisbury City manager Darrell Clarke. He originally worked with the U21 squad and focused on player recruitment[1] before being promoted to first team duties in December 2017.

He followed Clarke to Walsall in the summer of 2019 as his assistant manager,[2] before taking over as interim head coach himself when Clarke left the club in February 2021.[3] After the season was concluded, Walsall parted ways with Dutton in May 2021.[4]
