Brian McGuire (December 13, 1945 in East Melbourne – August 29, 1977 at Brands Hatch, UK) was a racing driver from Australia. He travelled over to the UK from Australia with another hopeful young driver, Alan Jones, but did not enjoy his countryman's success.

McGuire entered two Formula One British Grands Prix. With his privately-run Williams FW04 at the 1976 British Grand Prix, he found himself as a reserve entry and was denied a chance to compete. For the 1977 race, he entered his self-built McGuire BM1, based on the Williams FW04, but failed to pre-qualify. He was killed practicing this car during a minor meeting at Brands Hatch later that year.
