Mark Brown (born 28 February 1981 in Motherwell) is a Scottish professional football goalkeeper, who currently plays for Dumbarton in the Scottish Championship.
Brown is one of a handful of players who has played for both Old Firm clubs, Rangers and Celtic. He has also previously played for Motherwell, Inverness CT, Kilmarnock, Hibernian and Ross County. Brown has also represented Scotland B twice.
Brown, a goalkeeper, started his career with Rangers, where he made just five first team appearances as a young player, before moving on to Motherwell. Brown made 19 appearances with Motherwell before the club's financial difficulties forced them into administration; Brown was one of 19 players released by the club to lessen its wage bill.
Brown earned a contract with Inverness CT in the summer of 2002 after impressing then-manager Steve Paterson, and quickly became an indispensable member of the first team squad. Brown also played international football for Scotland under-21s.
After joining Inverness, Brown's reputation as a talented goalkeeper grew, helped by his performances for the club in the Scottish First Division, the Scottish Cup and the SPL. The highlights of his career include a Scottish Cup Player of the Round award in March 2003, after his performance in goal helped Inverness to a 1–0 quarter-final win against Celtic.
