Brian Hammel (born March 23, 1953) is an American college basketball former coach.

He became the head coach at Northern Illinois University in 1991,[1] coaching the team for over nine years before resigning midway through the 2000–2001 season because of exhaustion.[2] The Huskies qualified for the NCAA tournament once in Hammel's tenure, reaching the 1996 event before losing in the first round to Texas Tech.[3]

Prior to assuming the Northern Illinois job, Hammel had served as an assistant to George Raveling at Iowa from 1984 to 1986.[1] He then moved with Raveling to Southern California and worked as an assistant coach from 1986 to 1991, taking an important role in the team's recruiting activities.[1]

Hammel currently is the president of the Northridge Hospital Foundation, a position he has held since 2002.[4]
