Harry Gunnison Brown (May 7, 1880– March 11, 1975) was a Georgist[2] economist teaching at Yale in the early 20th century.

Paul Samuelson named Brown in a list of "American saints in economics" that included only 6 other economists born after 1860.

After receiving his Ph.D., Brown worked as an instructor under Irving Fisher in the economics department at Yale University until 1915.

Brown remained at MU, and during his career he became chairman of the economics department as well as dean of the College of Business and Public Administration.

He is described by Mason Gaffney as having refuted: Harry Gunnison Brown was known throughout the United States as a Georgist, and stood out as a staunch believer and advocacy of the ideas of Henry George, through a majority of his life he argued for tax reform along the lines proposed by George.
