Brad Banks (b. April 22, 1980 in Belle Glade, Florida) is an American football player, currently playing for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.

Banks was the quarterback for the University of Iowa in 2002. That season, he completed 170 of 294 passes (57.8%) for 2573 yards with 26 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, finishing first in quarterback rating in Division I-A; he ran 82 times for 435 yards and 5 touchdowns. Banks was named AP Player of the Year, was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, received the Chicago Tribune Silver Football as the most valuable player of the Big Ten and was awarded the Davey O'Brien Award for being the best collegiate quarterback in the nation during the 2002 season. He led the Hawkeyes to an 11-2 record and a tie for the Big Ten crown with Ohio State. Had Iowa not lost to Iowa State for the Cy-Hawk Trophy they would have been undefeated in regular season and may have been selected to play in the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS championship. Nonetheless, they earned a BCS bid to the Orange Bowl and lost to USC 38-17. They finished the season number eight in the AP Poll.

Despite his accomplishments in college, Banks was not drafted by an NFL team. He did sign with the Washington Redskins, but was released shortly afterwards. He signed with the Ottawa Renegades of the CFL in 2005, and in 2006 was selected by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Renegades' dispersal draft. On June 20, 2007, the Blue Bombers traded Banks to the Montréal Alouettes in exchange for quarterback Kliff Kingsbury.
