Bryan Paul Bullington (born September 30, 1980 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher in the Cleveland Indians organization. He attended Ball State.

Bullington was the first overall pick in the 2002 draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was the first player from the Mid-American Conference to be selected with the first pick in a major sport's draft. He was selected because the Pirates felt they had a better chance of signing him over other players in the draft such as BJ Upton, Prince Fielder, Scott Kazmir, Nick Swisher and Cole Hamels.
