Brian Gilmore (born 1 December 1929) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Gilmore was recruited from Koondrook, a town on the Victorian side of the Murray River.[1][2] A follower, Gilmore started out in the seconds in 1949, then in 1950 broke into the seniors for the first time.[3][4] He made 11 league appearances in his time at Essendon, never more than four in a single season and was a member of the club's 1950 and 1952 seconds premierships.[3][4]

In 1954, Gilmore joined Richmond, where he played briefly in the seconds, before leaving for Kyneton.[5][6]

He spent the 1955 VFL season with St Kilda and put together 10 games that year, all in succession, a run which ended when he was forced to sit out four weeks for striking Carlton's Noel O'Brien.[4][7]

Also a professional runner, Gilmore competed in the Stawell Gift and once won the quarter mile race.[3][8]
