Matthew Brisbane (1787–1833) was an Antarctic explorer, sealer and a notable figure in the early history of the Falkland Islands. A compatriot of famous explorers such as Weddell, Ross and Fitzroy, he was shipwrecked three times in Antarctic waters but survived, overcoming tremendous hardships. Brisbane entered Falkland Islands history when he accepted a position with Vernet as his deputy.
