Brandon William Convery (born February 4, 1974 in Kingston, Ontario) is a retired professional ice hockey player who played briefly in the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, and Los Angeles Kings. He played Center and shot right-handed.

Convery began his career with the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL. For the 1991–1992 season Convery scored 40 goals in 44 games. His stellar play caught the eye of NHL scouts and he was drafted in the 1st round, 8th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft. After being drafted Convery returned to the OHL for the majority of the 1992–1993 season and also made his pro debut, appearing in 3 games with the St. John's Maple Leafs of the AHL.

Following another full season in the OHL, Convery played the 1994–1995 season with St. John's, scoring 71 points in 76 games.
