Brett Hearn (born September 1, 1958) is a semi-retired modified stock car driver from Kinnelon, New Jersey.{{cite web|url=http://racing-reference.info/driver/Brett_Hearn |title=Brett Hearn Info |publisher=Racing-reference.info |date=1958-09-01 |accessdate=2014-05-08}} He currently serves as race director at Orange County Fair Speedway

Hearn has amassed 919 wins in a stock car over the course of his professional career which has spanned four decades. He won his first-ever Modified feature event at Nazareth Speedway and was the last Modified driver to score a win on the half-mile track because weeks later, the track was torn down to make way for a strip mall and grocery store.{{cite book|last=Berger|first=Tracy|title=Nazareth Speedway|date=Nov 11, 2013|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|location=Charleston, South Carolina|isbn=978-1-4671-2048-7|page=38|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NdFiAQAAQBAJ}}

He competed in twenty NASCAR Busch Series events in his career, spanning from 1985 to 1989, using the same chassis in every race. He earned just one top-ten: a 10th at Dover International Speedway and earned his best points finish of 41st in 1986.{{cite web|url=http://www.racing-reference.info/driver/Brett_Hearn |title=Brett Hearn NASCAR Career Statistics |publisher=Racing-reference.info |date=1958-09-01 |accessdate=2014-05-08}}
