Brandon Prideaux (born August 18, 1976 in Seattle, Washington) is an American soccer defender who currently plays for the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer.

Prideaux played college soccer for the University of Washington from 1994 to 1997. Upon graduating in 1998, Prideaux joined the Seattle Sounders of the A-League. He excelled for the Sounders, registering two goals and ten assists while leading the team in minutes played.

Prideaux's performance in the A-League attracted the attention of MLS, and he signed with the Kansas City Wizards for the 1999 season; he played in 15 games, starting 8, registering one assist. In his second year with the Wizards, Prideaux seized a starting role, starting all 31 of the games he played in, and helped lead the Wizards to an MLS Cup, playing a part in one of the best defenses in the league's history. Prideaux played with the Wizards one more season, before being traded to D.C. United for Stephen Armstrong prior to the 2002 season.

Prideaux started 53 of 55 games he played for D.C. in 2002 and 2003, but had his starting position challenged in 2004 with the emergence of Josh Gros, and a tactical shift that led the team to play a 3-5-2 formation more often. Nevertheless, he started 16 games, and was a useful role player for the club. In 2005, he resumed his regular role, starting 28 of 29 games, but served primarily as a backup in 2006, playing in only 9 matches after suffering a knee injury. Prideaux has yet to score a goal after eight years in MLS and currently holds the record for most matches played without scoring having succeeded Nick Garcia after the latter finally scored his first in June 2006.

On December 15, 2006, D.C. United traded Prideaux to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for two draft picks [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/15/AR2006121500913.html] .

Prideaux was waived by Colorado Rapids on March 4, 2008 and was picked up by Chicago Fire in the MLS Waiver Draft.
