Cynthia Louise "Cindy" Brown (born March 16, 1965) is a retired American women's basketball player, at the college, Olympic and professional levels.

[3][4] Born in Portland, Oregon, Brown played basketball for Long Beach State University between 1983 and 1987.

[5] Source[8] Because the U.S. lacked a women's pro league, Brown played professionally in Europe and Japan for almost a decade.

A 6'-1" center/power forward, a tenacious rebounder and a strong inside scoring presence, Brown earned Second Team All-ABL honors following the 1996–97 season.

[9] Brown's debut game was played on June 13, 1998 in a 69–78 loss to the Charlotte Sting where she recorded 10 points and 8 rebounds.

On July 29, 1999, midway through her second WNBA season, Brown was traded, along with teammate Korie Hlede, to the Utah Starzz[11] for Wendy Palmer and Olympia Scott-Richardson.
