Brian Conklin (born September 5, 1989) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Ibaraki Robots of the Japanese B.League.

As a junior in 2006–07, he averaged 19.6 points and 11.3 rebounds per game, leading his team to a perfect 28–0 record, the 5A Oregon State championship and was subsequently named the 2007 Player of the Year.

As a senior in 2007–08, he averaged 20.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.3 steals per game, leading his team to a 25–4 record and the No.

He was also named to the Cancun Governor's Cup All-Tournament team after averaging a team-best 14.0 points during the three-day tournament.

[2] After finishing college, Conklin was not picked up in the NBA draft and was left pondering his future for nine months before being offered a contract.

[4] He made an immediate impact in the Southland setup and on the New Zealand league,[5] recording 21 points and nine rebounds to help the Sharks defeat the Nelson Giants 92–81 in the grand final in July.

[13] He was a revelation for the club during the season, using his strength and speed to overcome any height disadvantage and established himself among the top seven scorers in the league.

He finished fourth in the league in scoring, averaging 18.9 points per game with 6.4 rebounds on 50.7 per cent shooting from the field.

[23] On November 4, 2015, Conklin was involved in an ugly on-court incident involving Perth Wildcats guard Damian Martin, where during the fourth quarter of the Crocodiles' 89–77 win over the Wildcats, Conklin's errant elbow collided with and broke Martin's jaw.

[26] Less than two weeks after the Martin encounter, Conklin was in the spotlight again for another elbow incident, this time for striking Adelaide 36ers forward Mitch Creek in a similar manner.

As a result, due to what the club claimed as a number of "sub-par performances", the Crocodiles terminated Conklin's contract on November 30.

[29][30] In response, Conklin claimed he would consider legal advice before continuing his career either in the NBL or overseas, believing he was unfairly treated by the club.

Following the 2014–15 NBL season, Conklin joined Cangrejeros de Santurce of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN).

On February 11, 2019, Conklin signed with Piratas de Quebradillas for the 2019 BSN season, returning to the club for a second stint.

[42] On July 9, 2019, Conklin signed a one-year deal with Limoges CSP of the LNB Pro A, returning to the team for a second stint.

[44] In June 2021, Conklin joined Indios de Mayagüez of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional, returning to the team for a second stint.

[47] In December 2023, Conklin had a two-game stint with Mexican team Halcones de Xalapa in the Basketball Champions League Americas.
