Tod David Brown (born November 15, 1936) is an American bishop and retired prelate of the Roman Catholic Church in Idaho and southern California. He served as Bishop of Boise from 1989 to 1998 and as Bishop of Orange from 1998 to 2012.
Born and raised in northern California, Brown studied in California and in Rome before being ordained to the priesthood in 1963. As a priest Brown held several positions in the Diocese of Monterey. In 1988 the Vatican appointed Brown as Bishop of Boise, and he was consecrated bishop in April 1989. He was appointed as the third Bishop of Orange in 1998, and held that position until he reached the mandatory retirement age for bishops in 2012.
Born in San Francisco to George W. and Edna Anne (née Dunn) Brown, Brown has a younger brother, Daniel. His ancestry includes Danish, Irish, English, and Azorean nationalities.
After receiving his primary education in northern California, he attended Ryan Seminary in Fresno and St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, from where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree. Brown then traveled to Rome to study at the Pontifical North American College and the Pontifical Gregorian University, there earning a bachelor's in Sacred Theology. Brown also earned Master's in biblical theology and education from the University of San Francisco.
