Brenton Broadstock (born Melbourne, 1952)cite web|title=Brenton Broadstock, Represented Composer|url=http://www.amcoz.com.au/composers/composer.asp?id=78|publisher=Australian Music Centre|accessdate=2008-08-04] is an Australian composer, author of a chamber opera based on the novel by Ray Bradbury, "Fahrenheit 451".

Broadstock has been well known in the Australian composition scene ever since the premiere of his tuba concerto early in his career. He has also to date five symphonies (which the Krasnoyark Academic Orchestra have recorded). His first symphony was written as a direct response to the mental anguish he experienced after one of his children was born with a severe mental disability.

Broadstock studied composition with Peter Sculthorpe at the Sydney conservatorium, and after numerous awards has become part of the composition staff at Melbourne University.He has since retired at the end of 2006 to pursue his own compositional goals.

The current head of composition at Melbourne University, Stuart Greenbaum also studied with Broadstock at Melbourne University.
