Brenton Scott Rickard[1] (born 19 October 1983) is a retired breaststroke swimmer from Australia.

Rickard's first World Championships were a good one, consistently capturing medals in all of his pet events.

In the final of the 100-metre breaststroke, Rickard won the gold medal and surpassed the old world record of 58.91 held by Kosuke Kitajima with a time of 58.58.

[4] In 2020, the IOC began proceedings in the Court of Arbitration of Sport to void Rickard's results from the 2012 London Olympics[5] after his urine samples from that competition tested positive for furosemide, a banned diuretic.

If the IOC's findings were upheld, six Australian swimmers would have been stripped of their bronze medal in the 4 × 100 m medley,[6] in which Rickard swam the breaststroke leg of the heat.
