Brian William Courtice (born 17 April 1950) was an Australian politician. Born in Bundaberg, Queensland, he was a cane farmer and an organiser of the Australian Workers' Union before entering politics. He was the nephew of Senator Ben Courtice. In 1987, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for Hinkler, defeating sitting National MP Bryan Conquest. He held the seat until his defeat in 1993 by National challenger Paul Neville.[1] He tried to regain his seat in 1996, but was roundly defeated by Neville.

In the 2007 federal election campaign he appeared in a Liberal television advertisement opposing Kevin Rudd but has denied that this made him a Labor rat.
