Bryan Spring (born 24 August 1945) is a British jazz drummer. He is sometimes credited as Brian Spring.

Spring was self-taught, beginning at the age of six, though he later studied with Philly Joe Jones. He led and co-led his own trios and quartets from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s with Don Weller and also Art Themen.[1] Later, into the 2000s, he collaborated with Mark Edwards and Andy Cleyndert.[2] Spring has been a member of groups such as Bill Le Sage's Bebop Preservation Society, Alan Skidmore's Quartet, Klaus Doldinger's Passport, and various line-ups led by Stan Tracey.[3]

He has also worked with other leading British jazz musicians, including Tubby Hayes, Dick Morrissey, Bobby Wellins, as well as accompanying American musicians visiting the UK.
