Brendan O’Brien, nado o 23 de xuño de 1960 en Atlanta, Xeorxia, é un produtor discográfico, enxeñeiro de son e músico estadounidense.
Traxectoria Aos 14 anos O'Brien tocaba a guitarra na banda de versións de Pranks, baseada en Atlanta. A finais dos 70 pasou a formar parte do grupo Samurai Catfish. Nos 80 traballou no estudio con moitos artistas locais, incluíndo Indigo Girls e The Downtown Executives, e tocou o baixo con The Georgia Satellites durante un curto período de tempo. A súa carreira no estudio conseguiu un impulso importante co éxito do primeiro álbum dos Black Crowes, Shake Your Money Maker, no cal foi técnico ademais de tocar a guitarra e o baixo nel.
Xunto coa súa muller Robin e as súas tres irmás Jackie, Allie e Hannah, O'Brien deixou Atlanta a principios dos 90 para continuar a súa carreira nos Ánxeles. Comezou a traballar en Geffen Records baixo as ordes de Rick Rubin, producindo a bandas coma Stone Temple Pilots e Pearl Jam.
A mediados da década converteuse no vicepresidente de Epic Records. Gañou dous premios Grammy e ata a data, catorce dos álbums producidos por el acadaron o número 1 nas listas Billboard Hot 200 Charts.
