Brighton Millhouse Sheffield (born 1983) is a fictional character in the television situation comedy The Nanny. He was played by Benjamin Salisbury.

Brighton is the only son of Maxwell and Sara Sheffield. Because both his older and younger siblings are sisters, he feels like he is left out of the loop often. Thusly, he squabbles with both of them, mainly his older sister, Maggie. He was often causing trouble for his sisters.

When the new Nanny, Fran Fine came along, Brighton knew not what to make of things. He didn't bond with her, as well as his sisters did, and in fact, Fran had to report to his father that he was smoking cigarettes. This almost got him in real trouble.

Brighton's ambition was to become a Broadway producer, like his father. Also, he is insatiably girl crazy, and while his father thinks that is what boys are like, Fran doesn't approve of it at all. When Fran was almost let go, her long-time arch-rival, Heather Biblow was hired as her replacement. Brighton really liked her, (that is to say, he lusted after her) but his sisters hated her; when Fran forcibly regained her job, and Heather was fired, Brighton sobbed.

Brighton also joined a Canasta league which allowed him to bond with his soon-to-be grandmother, Sylvia and her mother, Yetta Rosenberg.

During the later seasons, Brighton seemed to obsess a lot about his trust fund, or possible lack of one. When anyone says he has lost his trust fund, he goes into a real state of shock.

At the show's end, he is shown taking a plane to Europe, along with his sister, Maggie, to Venice.
