Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox AFL biography Cameron O'Brien (born 28 September 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and the Brisbane Bears in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

An Old Xaverian, O'Brien played for St Kilda's thirds and Under-19s sides before joining Collingwood. His father, Jim O'Brien, was a former St Kilda footballer.[1]

In the final round of the 1985 VFL season, O'Brien played his first and only game for Collingwood, against Carlton at Waverley Park.[2] The following year he represented Victoria at the Amateur football carnival in Adelaide and kicked eight goals in the final to win the Hugh Millard Medal.[3]

O'Brien joined Brisbane in 1987 and after a couple of quiet seasons kicked 19 goals from eight appearances in 1989.[2] This included a five-goal haul in a four-point win over St Kilda, which he won for his team with a soccered goal from 30 metres out late in the final quarter.[4]

He played just five times in 1990 but had a memorable game against the Sydney Swans at Carrara when he kicked a career best seven goals.[2] A year later, in what would be his final season, O'Brien made 12 appearances and kicked 26 goals.[2] His tally was the equal third most by a Bear for the year and included six goals against Fitzroy.[2]
