Brian Whitehouse (8 September 1935 – 16 January 2017) was an English professional footballer who played as a forward for West Bromwich Albion, Norwich City, Wrexham, Crystal Palace, Charlton and Leyton Orient. He was top scorer for Palace in the 1965-1966 season with 7 goals. After his retirement from playing in 1968, he undertook various coaching and scouting positions, and was briefly caretaker manager at West Bromwich Albion in 1975; he died in 2017, aged 81. Whitehouse's debut came on April 14, 1956 at Portsmouth's Fratton Park as injury to Johnny Nicholls gave manager Vic Buckingham a chance to assess him across the final three games of the season.
