Brian Goold-Verschoyle (5 June 1912 – 5 January 1942) was an Anglo-Irish member of the Communist Party of Great Britain who was recruited by the Soviet NKVD as a courier for its agents in Britain. After being sent as a radio technician to Republican Spain, in 1937 he revealed his disaffection with the Moscow party line. Detained on a Soviet freighter, he was returned to Moscow. He died in a Soviet prison camp in 1942, one of three Irish people identified as victims of Stalin's Great Purge.
