Sir Brenton Halliburton (December 27, 1774 – July 16, 1860) was the eighth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotian artist William Valentine painted Haliburton's portrait.

He presided over the Libel trial of Joseph Howe, for which his son John C. Halliburton eventually challenged Joseph Howe to a duel in Point Pleasant Park.

He lived in the home he grew up in, the Bower, that still stands in Halifax.
