Brandon Hugh 'Babe' Laufenberg (born December 5, 1959 in Burbank, California) is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League who played for the New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs, and the Ohio Glory in the WLAF. He was drafted with the 168th pick of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. He led the team to several come-from-behind wins over the course of three preseasons but had injury problems, leading one Redskins follower to call him "probably the most famous Redskin never to play a down in an NFL game in a Washington uniform."

He started 5 games for the San Diego Chargers (team went 2-3) after being released by Washington, following the retirement of Chargers' quarterback Dan Fouts.

Currently, Laufenberg is the lead sports anchor for Dallas CBS affiliate KTVT. He was also the color man on the Cowboys Radio Network from 1996-2005, and hosted the head coach's weekly show during that period. He was replaced in his radio roles in 2006 by former Cowboys safety and pregame show host Charlie Waters. Laufenberg resumed his duties for the 2007 season.
