Shaun Richard Brisley (born 6 May 1990) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Matlock Town, where he is also assistant manager.

He began his career at Macclesfield Town. After his senior debut in March 2008, he quickly became a first-team regular, making 142 league and cup appearances in under 4 years. He joined Peterborough United on an initial loan deal in February 2012, which was made permanent three months later. He won the Football League Trophy with the club in 2014 and scored in the final. He was loaned out to Scunthorpe United, Northampton Town and Leyton Orient before he joined Carlisle United on a free transfer in July 2016. He moved on to Notts County 12 months later, though he was released after the club's relegation out of the English Football League at the end of the 2018–19 season. He signed with Port Vale in August 2019 and stayed at the club for two seasons before joining Wrexham in July 2021. He moved on to Buxton 12 months later and then spent one season with Alfreton Town before moving on to Matlock Town.
