Brad William Muster (born April 11, 1965 in Novato, California) is a former American football fullback in the NFL for the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints from 1988 to 1994.

Muster had many memorable runs as a running back at Stanford University. In the 1984 Big Game, Muster ran the ball for 204 yards on 34 carries. He had 78 receptions in the 1985 season, which is tied for third place in the Pacific Ten Conference. Muster graduated from Stanford University in 1988 and was drafted by the Chicago Bears in first round of the 1988 NFL Draft. He was used as a fullback, and his goal when he didn't have the ball was to help block for Neal Anderson. After the 1992 season, coach Dave Wannstedt would not let Muster be a featured back, so he signed a free agent contract with the Saints. The man he replaced, Craig Heyward, ended up playing with the Bears. Muster retired after the 1994 season due to nagging injuries.

ESPN's Chris Berman, known for giving athletes colorful and pun-filled nicknames, dubbed him Brad "Colonel" Muster. This is a play on Colonel Mustard from the board game Clue.

Muster is a huge Ric Flair fan. Jim Ross noted on the broadcast of the 1989 Chi-Town Rumble which Muster attended that he would wear a Ric Flair t-shirt underneath his jersey while playing.
