Stuart Brown (born 29 June 1972) is a British sidecarcross rider. Internationally, his greatest success has been two third place overall finishes (FIM Bronze Medal), achieved in the 2014 Sidecarcross World Championship and 2016 Sidecarcross World Championship. Domestically he has won a record fourteen national British Sidecarcross Championships.

Stuart Brown started racing in the British Championship with passenger Luke Peters in 1996, entering the Sidecarcross World Championship in the following year. After an eighth place in their inaugural domestic season the pair improved gradually, finishing runners-up in Britain in 2000 and 2001. After the retirement of ten-time champions Chris Etheridge in 2001 the pair won their first national title in 2002 and repeated this achievement in 2003.

In late 2004 and 2005 Brown raced with Jason Peters and, in 2005, also with Marc Cooper, as Luke Peters was recovering from a broken leg. In both seasons he won the British Championship. In 2006 he won his fifth national title, now with Luke Peters again.

Brown and Peters missed most of the 2007 season because of a hand injury for Brown, unable to defend their national title. The pair took out three more British titles in 2008, 2009 and 2010 before Brown switched passengers. Now with Josh Chamberlain as his passenger Brown won six more national titles from 2011 to 2016. By winning his eleventh British national title in 2013 Brown set a new national record, surpassing the ten titles won by Chris Etheridge between 1991 and 2001.

In 2017 Brown will defend his British title, partnered by Joe Millard.

Entering the Sidecarcross World Championship from 1997 onwards Brown and Peters competed only sporadically for the first five seasons, never finishing higher than 20th overall. From 2002 onwards their fortunes changed, with Brown finishing in the top-ten for the next five consecutive seasons, with two fifth-place finishes in 2003 and 2004 as his best results. In 2003 he also achieved his first-ever podium finish.
