Kermit Brashear (born March 16, 1944) is an American politician and lawyer from Omaha, Nebraska.
Now retired, he was admitted to practice law in Nebraska, Colorado, and Texas.
In 2009-10 he attracted attention and controversy for his role in selling KFUO-FM, the LCMS-owned classical music station in St. Louis, Missouri; as a member of the board, he pushed for selling the station and his law firm handled all the negotiations and closing of the sale.
Because Nebraska voters passed Initiative Measure 415 in 2001 limiting state senators to two terms after 2001, he was unable run for reelection in 2006.
Pete Pirsch replaced him as the 4th District's state senator after the 2006 legislative election.
