Brendan John Mullin (born Jerusalem, 31 October 1963) is a former Ireland international rugby union football player. He played as a centre and has been described as "one of the last great Irish players of rugby’s amateur era". After retirement from rugby, Mullin worked for Powerscourt Investments. He subsequently joined Bank of Ireland. He was arrested in 2021 and, after a lengthy investigation, brought to court in October 2024 to face charges relating to the theft of more than €570,000 from the bank. He was found guilty in November 2024 and jailed for three years.
