Brian William Dunseth (born March 2, 1977 in Upland, California) is an American soccer player.

Dunseth played college soccer at Cal State-Fullerton, and was one of the first players to sign a Project-40 contract, doing so in 1997. He was assigned to the New England Revolution and spent the next four and a half seasons there, before being traded to the Miami Fusion midway through 2001. The Fusion was contracted next year, and Dunseth was taken by the Columbus Crew in the Dispersal Draft and spent a year and a half there, before a trade to the Dallas Burn.

Dunseth left MLS for 2004, playing for Bodens BK in Sweden. He then came back to the league, signing with Real Salt Lake. He played a year with the club, before a trade to Chivas USA for Douglas Sequeira and Christian Jimenez. Before the 2006 season started, Dunseth was traded again, to the Los Angeles Galaxy for a draft pick. In process, he became the first MLS player to be on the roster of seven different teams (although he never played for Chivas). He was waived by the Galaxy in May 2006. In eight years of MLS, Dunseth scored five goals and six assists. He has since announced his retirement from soccer. [http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=387678]
