Jodi Brown (née Te Huna; born 6 May 1981 in Whanganui, New Zealand) is a retired New Zealand netball player. Brown was a member of the New Zealand national netball team, the Silver Ferns from 2002 to 2015, taking time off in between those periods due to injury and pregnancy, earning 61 caps. She has also played elite domestic netball in New Zealand for 13 years, and has signed with the Southern Steel for 2014. She played for the Central Pulse in 2015 and was getting set to play her final season in 2016 before she injured her ACL in the preseason and decided to retire from domestic netball after she had retired from international netball in 2015.
In the National Bank Cup, Brown played three years with the Capital Shakers before moving to the Canterbury Flames. In 2004, she represented the Flames making the final. She then moved to the Auckland Diamonds the following year, and then captained the Otago Rebels in 2007.
With the start of the ANZ Championship in 2008, Brown continued with the Canterbury franchise, renamed the "Canterbury Tactix", for the inaugural season, but only played six rounds before she pulled out due to pregnancy. She returned to the Tactix the following year, but switched to the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic for the 2010 season. Brown was partnered in the Magic shooting circle with Irene van Dyk, delivering a strong performance that helped the Magic progress to the grand final that year. But at the end of the 2010 season, Jodi Brown announced that she would not return for 2011, expecting the birth of her second child. However, Brown did return to netball seven weeks since birth of her second child. Brown was called in to play for the Southern Steel against the West Coast Fever, but lost; Brown played in the second half. In the 2012 ANZ Championship Season, Jodi Brown has signed to the Southern Steel.
She played for the Central Pulse in the 2015 ANZ Championship Season and was intending to retire after the 2016 season. However, she sustained an injury during the Pulse's first match of the pre-season tournament as she a ruptured her Anterior Cruciate Ligament in her right knee. The damage did not finish there, Brown also sustaining a grade two tear of the Medial Cruciate Ligament. Given the rigorous road of physical therapy and regaining fitness and given her previous intention to retire after the 2016 season, Brown announced she was retiring shortly after the confirmation of her injury.
