John Brasbrigg or Bracebrigge (fl. 1428) was an English book collector, who appears as a priest of Syon Abbey in 1428.[1]

He is said to have given a large number of books to the convent, and to have written a treatise entitled Catholicon continens quatuor partes grammaticæ, which, with other manuscripts belonging to Syon monastery, passed to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.[notes 1] The name of Brasbrigg is not to be found in James Nasmith's catalogue.
