Brooke Foss Westcott (* 12. Januar 1825 in Birmingham; † 27. Juli 1901 in Auckland Castle, Durham) war ein englischer Theologe und ab 1890 anglikanischer Bischof von Durham.

Als Neutestamentler und Philologe griff er um 1860 – zusammen mit Joseph Barber Lightfoot (1828–1889) – die Methoden der evangelischen Tübinger Schule auf und entwickelte eine historisch-kritische Methode der Bibelforschung.

Am 1. November 1870 wurde er auf den Lehrstuhl der Regius Professorship of Divinity an der University of Cambridge gewählt. Diesen Lehrstuhl hatte er bis 1890 inne, als er in Nachfolge von Lightfoot Bischof von Durham wurde.

1881 gab er gemeinsam mit Fenton John Anthony Hort sein bekanntes Werk The New Testament in the Original Greek heraus (siehe auch: Textus receptus).

Westcott gehörte den Cambridge Apostles an.
