Kevin Brady (born 2 December 1962) is an Irish former footballer.

Brady played his schoolboy football with Stella Maris before joining Bohemian (2 spells), Shamrock Rovers, Derry City, Shelbourne and Dundalk in the League of Ireland. He also had a spell at Ards in the Irish League where he made 30 appearances.

Brady moved to Milltown in 1983 and was a vital part of the success over the next four years, making 140 total appearances scoring once. He won 4 League of Ireland titles, 3 FAI Cups and made 6 appearances in European competition for the Hoops. He also played for the League of Ireland XI in 7 Olympic qualifiers.

He transferred to Derry in July 1988 where he won the treble in 1989.

He signed for Shelbourne in 1991 and helped them win their first league title in his first season and won the FAI Cup with them the following season as they defeated Dundalk at Lansdowne Road. He moved on to Ards before returning to his first club Bohemians in the summer of 1995.

Brady re-signed for Derry in July 1997 and played in the Champions League qualifiers before signing for Dundalk a few months later.
