Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP was a prominent American law firm headquartered in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1926, the firm was known for its early work with technology startups in Silicon Valley during the 1990s dot-com boom. At its peak, Brobeck had over 1,100 attorneys and staff across 14 offices and represented major clients such as Cisco Systems, Sun Microsystems, and Nike.

In 2003, the firm was liquidated under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, after it had lost a substantial amount of money in the dot-com bubble and merger talks with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius had fallen through.
