Brendan Markey (born 19 May 1976, in Dublin) was an Irish soccer player who plays for Bangor Celtic in the Leinster Senior League.

A nippy striker, he started his career with Bohemians, where he scored at Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi in a 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup tie.[1]

In December 1995 he was snapped up for £60,000 by Mick McCarthy at Millwall. However his time in London was marred by injury and he did not play a single first team game for the Lions. He was loaned out to Dundalk F.C. in November 1996.[2]

He signed for Shamrock Rovers for the 1998-99 League of Ireland season.[3] His only goal came at Oriel Park on 25 February.

He then moved to Waterford United where he scored in just one game all season on 27 December 1999, a hat trick against St Pats. There were further spells at Bohemians again, Monaghan United, St Patrick's Athletic, Athlone Town, Newry Town and Glenavon F.C.[4]
