Wrestling Brewster (c. 1614 – ?) was an early American settler, the son of Elder William Brewster (c. 1567-April 10, 1644), the spiritual elder of the Plymouth Colony, and his wife, Mary Brewster. He was born at Leiden, Holland, circa 1614, although no birth records have been found. At age nine, he traveled with his father, mother, and brother (Love) on the Mayflower, reaching what became the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts in 1620. Brewster had two sisters, Patience and Fear, and two brothers, Jonathan and Love, along with an unnamed sister who died in infancy.
He was alive during the 1627 Division of Cattle at Plymouth, and was listed in his father's household at that time. He is not mentioned again in any record, including his father's will of 1644 and the inventory of his father's estate; neither is there any record of a marriage. It is therefore probable that he died some time between 1627 and 1644
