Brent Prismall (born July 14, 1986), is a professional football player who plays as a midfielder for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League. He is an up-and-coming talent known for his calmness whilst under pressure and his smooth skills, particularly his kicking.

Prismall grew up in Werribee, Victoria, and was drafted from the Western Jets under 18. He was Geelong's first pick in the 2004 draft, pick 32 overall, and wears this number on his guernsey. The number 32 was made famous by Geelong superstar Garry Hocking. Prismall spent all of the 2005 season playing in the Victorian Football League (VFL). At the start of 2006, he moved out of his Werribee home and moved to Geelong to live with teammates Corey Enright and Henry Playfair, whom he would later go on to start a personal training organisation with. He then set his sights on playing a senior game for the Geelong cats, and, after playing in the team that had earlier won the pre-season cup, he was selected to play in round 5. Just minutes into his debut on the 29th of April on Saturday night against the Sydney Swans football club, he broke his arm, which only allowed him to play eight games for the year. After a solid pre-season, he played the first five games of 2007 before being omitted, and then broke his wrist whilst playing in the VFL on Sunday, July 8, 2007, and as a result was unable to play for seven weeks, ending his season.

He will enter the 2008 season hoping to consolidate his spot in the team as a hard working, in-and-under midfielder. Despite his difficulties in consistently playing for Geelong, he shows strong signs of a bright future.
