Richard Sean Salisbury (born March 9, 1963 in Long Beach, California) is a football analyst and former NFL quarterback.

Salisbury played college football at the University of Southern California. During his eight-year NFL career, Salisbury played for the Indianapolis Colts, Minnesota Vikings, San Diego Chargers, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. Salisbury finished his career with 3,824 passing yards, 19 touchdown passes, and 19 interceptions.

In 1988, Sean Salisbury lead the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to a Grey Cup victory over Matt Dunigan and the British Columbia Lions and was named the Grey Cup MVP.

Since 1997, Salisbury has been an NFL analyst on ESPN, appearing on Sportscenter and NFL Live. He is well known for teasing fellow analyst John Clayton in the segment Four Downs. Clayton once famously got back at Salisbury. During an argument, Salisbury attempted to prove his point by telling Clayton, "You never played in the NFL." Clayton, noting that Salisbury spent most of his career as a backup quarterback on the sidelines (he received about a year's worth of NFL snaps in an eight year career), fired back, "Neither did you." Salisbury was also a part of The Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio in the early 2000s, though not in any official capacity.

Salisbury was hired as a consultant for the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard. On the set, Salisbury was charged with teaching Adam Sandler quarterback mechanics, cadences, and footwork. Sandler later offered Salisbury a role in the 2006 film, The Benchwarmers.
