Fleming Brown (March 1, 1926 – 1984), born in Marshall, Missouri, United States, was an American banjo player and one of the early teachers at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music.

He was influenced by old-time banjo players such as Uncle Dave Macon and Dock Boggs.

[1][2] Brown learned the banjo from Doc Hopkins, an old-time singer who hosted a morning radio show on WLS in Chicago.

In 1953 he joined the "I Come for to Sing" group with Studs Terkel, Larry Lane, Chet Roble and Big Bill Broonzy.

[3][4] At the Old Town School, Brown mentored banjoist Stephen Wade who eventually took over teaching Fleming's class in 1974.
