Bryan J. Baptiste (October 15, 1955 – June 22, 2008) was an American politician and member of the Republican Party.

Baptiste was Kānaka Maoli (Indigenous Hawaiian), Chinese, and a descendant of Portuguese immigrants who settled in Hawaii.

In the 2002 mayoral election, Baptiste faced two fellow councilmembers, Democrats Ron Kouchi and Randal Valenciano.

[6] He was succeeded by his former deputy, Bernard Carvalho, who won a special election to complete Baptiste's term.

Baptiste has since been memorialized with the Kapa'a New Town Park Facility renamed in his honor, following a million dollar upgrade of park facilities, including the installation of new lighting systems, locker rooms, and grass strips for the football field, improvements that Baptiste had long advocated for.
