Brian Simon Laws (born 14 October 1961) is a retired English footballer and current manager of Burnley.

Playing as a defender, Laws made over 100 appearances for Burnley, Middlesbrough, and Nottingham Forest. In 1994, Laws became player-manager of Grimsby Town before taking a similar position with Scunthorpe United in 1997. For the next nine years, Laws served as manager of Scunthorpe, guiding them to promotion twice. In 2006, Laws accepted the managerial role at Sheffield Wednesday, lasting three years in the job until he was sacked. However, after only a brief spell out of the game, Burnley appointed Laws as their manager, giving Laws his first chance to manage in the Premier League.
