Impi Brecher Visser (born (1995-05-30)30 May 1995) is a South African rugby sevens player for the South Africa national team in the World Rugby Sevens Series.[1] In sevens usually plays as a forward, but is a centre in fifteen-a-side rugby.[2]

He also played rugby union for the Blue Bulls at youth level, initially as a scrum-half before making a move to the centre. He played for the UP Tuks, university side in the Varsity Cup, winning the competition in the 2017 season and also going on representing the Varsity Cup dream team during that same year in an exhibition match against the Junior Springboks.

"Impi", a zulu word, meaning a group of warriors, is not a nickname, but his given name.[2] He has a degree in mechanical engineering.[2]
