Brendon James Botha, better known as BJ Botha (born 4 January 1980 in Durban, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player. He is a prop for the Ulster Rugby. He signed for Ulster on Thursday 14th August 2008 on a three year deal. Previously he played in the Currie Cup, for the Sharks in the Super 14, and for the country's national team, the Springboks.

Botha realised his potential last year when he was rewarded with a well-deserved Springbok selection, gaining three Tri-Nations caps, and winning both games he started. He is highly-rated by his peers as a technically correct and powerful scrummager, playing in all 13 Super 14 matches in 2006 and is one cap shy of a half century in the domestic Currie Cup.

Brendon has played 11 times for the Springboks and has two tries to his name. He will join up with the Ulster Rugby squad ahead of their 2008-09 season.
