John Brimacombe (born 25 November 1958) is a retired English footballer who played as a full back.

He was playing part-time for Saltash United and combining it with his job at Devonport Dockyard when he was signed by Plymouth Argyle in 1985.[1] He made his debut in January 1986 at the age of 27 and scored one of the club's goals against York City.[1] He enjoyed his best season with the club two years later after succeeding Gordon Nisbet as the club's first choice right back,[2] making 47 appearances during the 1987–88 season. The emergence of Kenny Brown the following season saw Brimacombe move into midfield,[3] but his appearances in the team became more sporadic. He was released in 1990, having made 113 appearances in all competitions for Argyle. He then returned to part-time football.[4]
