Brett Steven Maher (born April 17, 1973 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia) is an Australian basketball player who has played for the Adelaide 36ers in the NBL since 1992. He firstly played for Sturt in the Australian Basketball Association, where Adelaide 36ers scouts spotted him. It turned out to be a great pickup for the Adelaide 36ers, as he is now their successful captain. He has now been playing for over 15 seasons, averaging 17.2 ppg, 4.2 apg and 4.7 rpg during that period.

He played a huge part in the Adelaide 36ers three championships, in 1998, 1999 and 2002. He has also been the club MVP on five occasions. He has been selected in 4 NBL All Star Games, in 1996, 1997, 2005 and 2006. He has been named in the All-NBL First Team in 2000 and 2003, All-NBL Second Team in 1997, 1998 and All-NBL Third Team in 1999, 2002. He has also won the Larry Sengstock Medal for Grand Final MVP in 1999 and 2002.

Brett Maher is married to Tanya, and has three children, Cheyenne, Hudson and Indiana. In 2003 Hudson was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disease called Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) when just 3 months old and has since died, spurring the founding of The Hudson Maher Foundation that Brett Maher hopes can stop the disease from coming more common.
