John Emmett Brady[1] (born September 17, 1954) is an American college basketball coach and the former head men's basketball coach at Arkansas State University.

Brady was previously the head men's basketball coach at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. On February 8, 2008, LSU dismissed Brady,[2] and named his assistant coach, Butch Pierre, the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. On March 21, 2008 John Brady was named the 15th head basketball coach at Arkansas State University.

Brady had coached the Tigers to an unlikely Final Four run in the 2006 NCAA tournament, the fourth men's Final Four in LSU history.
