Edwin Stanley "Nigger" Brown[1] (1898–1972) was an Australian rugby league player who played in the 1910s and 1920s.

A Queensland state and Australian international representative centre,[2] he played club rugby in Toowoomba for Newtown.

[3][4] Brown, an Anglo-Australian who was nicknamed "Nigger" because of his fair complexion (or perhaps because of his use of the "Nigger Brown" variety of Kiwi shoe polish),[5] became Toowoomba's first rugby league international[6] when he was selected to go on the 1921–22 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, during which he played four matches.

[8] Brown later served as a judge for Sunday Herald's player of the season award.

When the stand was demolished in September 2008, the Toowoomba Sports Ground Inc decided not to use the nickname in future references to Brown.
