Brian Roberts (born August 28, 1982 in Los Angeles, California) is an American soccer player who last played defender for the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer.

Roberts played college soccer at Yale University from 2000 to 2003; as a sophomore and a junior, he was named second-team All-Ivy, and as a senior he was named to the first team. In addition, he started every Yale game during his four year career at the school.

Upon graduating, Roberts went undrafted, but was signed as a developmental player by the Wizards. The team promptly loaned him to the A-League's Minnesota Thunder, where he spent all of the 2004 season. With the Thunder, he appeared in 16 games, playing 1172 minutes from a fullback position, garnering one assist.

Following the 2006 season, Roberts retired as a player and joined the Wizards front office as an executive for youth sales. [Kansas City Wizards Media Relations.
