Brayden Fiorini (born 22 August 1997) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Gold Coast Suns, having been drafted with pick 20 in the 2015 national draft.[1] He made his debut in the 71-point loss against Collingwood in round 22, 2016 at Etihad Stadium.[2]

At the end of the 2025 season, Fiorini was traded to Essendon, for a third round pick in the 2026 draft.[3]

In his first season at the bombers in 2026, Fiorini was a late withdrawal prior to the round 3 clash with North Melbourne due to a back complaint.[4] It was more serious than first thought, as he required surgery on his back to resolve the issue, which ruled him out for the remainder of the 2026 season.[5]
