Revd Bryan Faussett (1720–1776) of Heppington, near Canterbury, was a noted East Kent antiquary. His accumulated research notes were edited by Charles Roach Smith from the original manuscript in the possession of Joseph Mayer and were published with notes and engravings in 1856 as Inventorium Sepulchrale (W2/Q-20-14(1)). He was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1763.

His great-grandson Thomas Godfrey Godfrey-Faussett (1829–1877) was the Auditor to Canterbury Cathedral.
