Brett Abrahams (born March 3, 1973) is an American geneticist and neuroscientist involved in the identification and subsequent functional characterization of the autism-related gene CNTNAP2 at UCLA.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Abrahams is an assistant professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.

Publications in scientific journals including Cell,[7] Nature,[8] New England Journal of Medicine,[4] together with reviews in Nature Reviews Genetics [9] and the textbook Human Genetics: Problems & Approaches,[10] have been cited by others over 2,000 times.[11]

Work Abrahams has contributed to has made the Autism Speaks "Top Ten Research Advances" list in each of 2008,[2][3] 2009,[8] 2010,[12] and 2011.[7]
