Henry "Harry" Brown (11 November 1883 – 9 February 1934) was an English footballer who played as an inside forward for various clubs in the early part of the twentieth century, including West Bromwich Albion, Newcastle United, Fulham and Southampton (two spells). At Newcastle, he was a member of the team that won the Football League championship in 1906–07.
Brown was born in Northampton and started his professional career in 1902 with Northampton Town in the Southern League before moving up to the Football League, joining West Bromwich Albion in November 1903. He scored three goals in 21 league appearances but was unable to prevent Albion from being relegated from the First Division at the end of the 1903–04 season.
He spent one more season with Albion in the Second Division before moving back to the Southern League when he joined Southampton in April 1905.
Brown made his "Saints" debut on 23 September 1905, when he replaced George Harris at inside-left in a 2–1 victory at Northampton. For the rest of the season, the No. 10 shirt would alternate between Brown and Harris.
