The Briscoe Brothers or the Briscoes were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of American brothers Jay Briscoe (Jamin "Jay" Pugh, 1984–2023) and Mark Briscoe (Mark Pugh, born 1985). They were known for their 20-year tenure with the American professional wrestling promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), where they were record-setting 13-time ROH World Tag Team Champions.

The duo were featured on Ring of Honor's first-ever event on February 23, 2002, and other than an 18-month hiatus from August 2004 to February 2006, the brothers were focal points of the company throughout its history, feuding with some of its biggest stars.[4] The Briscoes were 15-time world tag team champions overall with a record 13 ROH World Tag Team Championship reigns, one IWGP Tag Team Championship reign in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), and one Impact World Tag Team Championship reign. They also held Pro Wrestling Noah's GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship once, were winners of the 2022 Crockett Cup in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), and held numerous titles on the independent circuit.

They were also part of three Six-Man Tag Team Championship teams - winning the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship once with Bully Ray and NJPW's NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship twice (with Toru Yano). On January 31, 2022, they were the inaugural inductees into the ROH Hall of Fame. As singles competitors, Jay Briscoe was a two-time ROH World Champion, while Mark Briscoe won the 2013 Honor Rumble.

The Briscoe Brothers teamed together from 2000 until Jay Briscoe's sudden death in a car accident on January 17, 2023.
