Breca the Bronding (sometimes spelled Breoca) was a Bronding who, according to the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, was Beowulf's childhood friend. Breca defeated him in a swimming match.
While dining, Unferth alludes to the story of their contest, and Beowulf then relates it in detail, explaining how he needed to stop and defeat multiple sea monsters during the match.
Breca is also mentioned in Widsith as the lord of the Brondings.

Beowulf did not lose to Brecca; he let Brecca win their swimming competition out of sportsmanship and respect for their friendship. Beowulf intentionally threw the match to not embarrass his friend in front of his people.
