Brandon Starcevich (born 24 July 1999) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL). Starcevich is the nephew of Brisbane AFL Women's coach Craig Starcevich.[1]
Starcevich is from Western Australia,[2] and was a Fremantle Dockers fan in his youth.[3] He originally played for Mt Lawley-Inglewood Junior Football Club.

Starcevich tested at the WA State Draft Combine and won the 20 m (66 ft) sprint with a time of 2.87 seconds.[5] He was drafted by Brisbane with pick 18 in the 2017 national draft, their third selection, and was described as a 'contested bull'.[2]
In2018, Starcevich made his debut against North Melbourne in round 20[1] after strong form in the North East Australian Football League.[6] He recorded five tackles and nine disposals. Soon after, Starcevich signed a two-year contract extension, tying him to Brisbane until 2021.[1] In the 13th round of the 2020 AFL season, Starcevich earned a 2020 AFL Rising Star nomination for his performance against St Kilda, where he collected 10 disposals and took 4 marks.[7]
