Brian Robert Boyd Magee (4 May 1918 – May 2006) was a Canadian cricketer. Magee was a left-handed batsman who bowled left-arm medium pace. He was born in Toronto, Ontario.

Educated at Radley College in Oxfordshire, England, Magee made a single first-class appearance for Canada in 1954 against Yorkshire at North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough during Canada's 1954 tour of England.[1] In Canada's first-innings, he scored 3 runs before being dismissed by Fred Trueman and in their second-innings he scored 13 runs before being dismissed by Johnny Wardle. With the ball he took a single wicket, that of England Test cricketer Willie Watson.[2] In Canada, he also played three matches for Ontario between 1949 and 1952, all against Manitoba. None of these matches held first-class status.[3]

He died in May 2006, in the city of his birth.
