Brett Yorgey (born 13 October 1960) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Yorgey played his early football at Perth in the WAFL. His first stint in the VFL, at South Melbourne, didn't result in a senior game but he tried again in 1987 when he joined Collingwood. On debut against Geelong at Waverley Park mid-season, Yorgey had 19 disposals, kicked two goals and two behinds. He appeared in all of the club's remaining games for the year, except their last.[1]
In 1989, Yorgey was appointed captain-coach of Port Melbourne.[2] They finished the season in eighth position and after falling to 10th the following year, the former Collingwood player was replaced by Doug Searl.
