Noah Brooks (October 24, 1830 – August 16, 1903) was an American journalist and editor who worked for newspapers in Sacramento, San Francisco, Newark, and New York.

Born in Castine, Maine, he moved to Dixon, Illinois in 1856, where he became involved in John C. Frémont's campaign for president.

After the death of his wife in 1862, Brooks moved to Washington, D.C. to cover the Lincoln administration for the Sacramento Daily Union.

In 1884, Brooks wrote the first novel exclusively about baseball:[3] Our Base Ball Club and how It Won the Championship.

In the 2017 documentary film The Gettysburg Address, Brooks is portrayed by actor Jason Alexander.
