Rusty Egan (born 19 September 1957 in London) is a British-Irish musician and DJ.
Along with former Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock (bass and vocals), Steve New (guitar and vocals), and Midge Ure (guitar, vocals, and keyboards), Egan was the drummer of British new wave band Rich Kids, from its inception in March 1977, until its disbandment in December 1978.
Egan continued working with Ure, and later collaborated with The Misfits, Skids and Shock, and well as being a founding member of Visage. He played drums on a remixed version of Phil Lynott's song "Yellow Pearl", which the BBC used as the Top of the Pops theme tune from 1981 to 1986.
