Bryan Breton Higgins (29 June 1927 – 24 August 2003) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in one first-class match for Northern Districts during the 1956–57 season.[1]

Higgins was born at Suva in Fiji in 1927. [2] He played Hawke Cup cricket for Waikato between the 1952–53 and 1956–57 seasons and played matches for Northern Districts sides during the same period. His only first-class match was a January 1957 Plunket Shield fixture against Canterbury during Northern Districts first season in the competition. Primarily selected for his bowling, Higgins did not take a wicket in the match and scored 14 runs in his second innings after recording a duck in his first.[3]

Professionally Higgins was the director of a company. He was a selector for Northern Districts sides in later life.[2] He died at Havelock North near Hastings in 2003 at the age of 76.[1] An obituary was published in the 2004 edition of the New Zealand Cricket Almanack.[2]
