Don Kitchenbrand (also Kichenbrand; born 13 August 1933) was a South African football player who played in Britain for Rangers and Sunderland in the mid to late 1950s. He was nicknamed The Rhino by Rangers fans.[1]

In his first season in British football (1955-1956), Kitchenbrand scored 24 goals in 25 league appearances to help Rangers win the Scottish League title.[2] That season's goal tally included a 5-goal haul in an 8-0 rout of Queen of the South at Ibrox on 7 March 1956.[3] Kitchenbrand didn't feature much for Rangers after that first season,[2] having lost his place in the side to Max Murray,[4] and left for Sunderland in March 1958.[4][5]

Kitchenbrand played 54 competitive games for Sunderland, scoring 28 goals.[6] In November 1958 he scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Rotherham, the first hat-trick a Sunderland player had achieved in two years.[7]

Kitchenbrand returned to his homeland in 1960 to play for Johannesburg Wanderers,[4] before coming back to Scotland two years later for a brief spell at Forfar Athletic.[8]
