Brad Knighton (born 6 February 1985, in Hickory, North Carolina) is an American goalkeeper currently playing for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.

Knighton played four years of college soccer at UNC-Wilmington as well as for Indiana Invaders in the USL Premier Development League. Undrafted by MLS, he attended a New England tryout in early 2007 and was good enough to be invited on trial for the preseason. He impressed during the trial in Bermuda, winning a spot as the Revolution's third-choice keeper and a developmental contract with the club. [ [http://appserv02.uncw.edu/athletics/article.asp?ID=3403 Knighton to Sign Pact with Revolution] "UNCW Athletics", February 26, 2007, retrieved March 5, 2007.] The signing made him the first soccer player from UNC-Wilmington to be on a MLS roster.

After spending his first year and a half with the Revs behind Matt Reis and Doug Warren, he was loaned to the Portland Timbers on 2 July 2008 for the remainder of the 2008 Major League Soccer season.
