Brian Noonan (born May 29, 1965) is a retired ice hockey right-winger. He played for the Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Vancouver Canucks, St. Louis Blues and Phoenix Coyotes.

The hockey player grew up in South Boston in a working-class family.

He was first introduced to air conditioning because of the sport. "There was no air conditioning in South Boston where I grew up in a housing project," the former NHL winger remembered. "I never slept in air conditioning until went on the road as a kid to play hockey." Noonan's father, a former policeman and fireman, ordered his sons to go to public skating every Friday night to keep them from getting in trouble.
