Brent "Boomer" Harvey (born 14 May 1978) is an Australian rules footballer with the North Melbourne Football Club and is also the grandson of North Melbourne footballer Bill Harvey.
Drafted by the Kangaroos in the second round of the 1995 AFL Draft, he found himself in a premiership side in 1999, following an E. J. Whitten Medal victory playing for Victoria in the State of Origin series. He won the Syd Barker Medal in 2003, as well as the Jim Stynes Medal in the International rules series.
A highlight of his 2003 season was against Carlton at the Telstra Dome in Round 22. Playing in his 150th game, Harvey received the ball, looked to the right, then the left, then the right again then he went on to kick a goal and he celebrated by doing an imitation of shooting a slingshot in the Roos 124 point demolition.
He is the only North Melbourne player to have played every game at Manuka Oval during North Melbourne's nine-year stint at the venue.
In 2007 Harvey polled 22 votes in the Brownlow Medal Vote, finishing equal second. In 2008, Harvey polled 17 votes to finish in eighth place despite being expected to finish in the top three.
