Norman Standish Brooks (11 March 1910 – 23 September 1953) was an English competition swimmer who represented Great Britain in the Olympics and England in the British Empire Games during the late 1920s and early 1930s. He competed in freestyle swimming events.
At the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, Netherlands, he competed in the qualifying heats of the men's 100-metre freestyle. His time was the 17th best overall; he did not advance to the semi-finals.

He won a second silver medal as a member of the English men's team in the 4×200-yard freestyle relay.
