Briony Cole (born 28 February 1983 in Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian diver who won a gold medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and a silver medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

As a child, Cole competed in both gymnastics and swimming and the combination inevitably led her to diving. With Sharleen Stratton, she won gold at the Commonwealth Games in the 3 metre synchronised event. She backed that up in 2007 with a silver and bronze medal at the World Championships. Then in 2008, with Melissa Wu she won a silver in the 10 metre synchronised platform at the Beijing Olympics.

She has expressed an interest in trying out for the Cirque du Soleil water show after the Olympic have finished.
