Dustin James Brown (born November 4, 1984) is an American professional ice hockey right winger for the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). During the 2012–13 NHL lockout, he moved to the ZSC Lions, the hockey team from Zürich. The 13th overall pick of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, he has spent his entire eleven-year NHL career with the Kings. Brown led the Kings to the 2012 and 2014 Stanley Cup championships. In 2012, he became the first Kings captain and second American captain (behind Derian Hatcher) to win the Stanley Cup with a six-game victory over the New Jersey Devils.

He is noted for his physical playing style, consistently ranking among NHL leaders in hits and penalties drawn, and his reserved, lead-by-example approach to his captaincy. Internationally, Brown has represented the United States at three World Championships, winning a bronze medal in 2004, and two World Junior Championships. He won a silver medal as an alternate captain of the U.S. national team at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Brown received the 2011 NHL Foundation Player Award for his extensive charity work in the Los Angeles community.

After playing hockey at Ithaca High School for two years, Brown left his hometown to play junior hockey at age 16. He was drafted in second round, 26th overall, by the Guelph Storm in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Selection. Brown played three seasons for Guelph and scored 194 points in 174 games. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round, 13 overall, in 2003.
