Seth Trembly (born March 21, 1982 in Littleton, Colorado) is an American soccer defensive midfielder who currently plays for Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer.

Trembly was part of the original 1999 class at the Bradenton Academy, where as part of the Under-17 United States national team, he trained with Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley, and Bobby Convey, as well as current teammates Kyle Beckerman and Jordan Cila.

Rather than go to college, Trembly signed a Project-40 contract with MLS, and was allocated to his hometown team, the Colorado Rapids, joining the club at the end of the 1999 season. His time with the club has been disappointing, especially when compared to the careers of his former classmates. In his first four years, Trembly appeared in a total of only 12 games for the Rapids, starting just one. He at last began to break into the team in 2003, when injuries gave him the opportunity to play in 16 games, starting 11, for the team; although he registered a goal and an assist, Trembly was rather unimpressive for the club. In 2004, he was largely a late defensive substitute, appearing in 24 games, but starting only five, playing mostly as a defensive midfielder, but some as an outside back. The Rapids traded Trembly to Salt Lake in early 2005. He scored two goal in his first season with the club.

Although a fixture for the Under-17 national team, Trembly's disappointing tenure with the Rapids have caused his national team opportunities to dwindle. Although he played for the U-20 team at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship, he saw little time with the U-23 team, and has not played since 2002.
