Sir Ralph Kilner Brown, OBE, TD, DL (28 August 1909 – 15 June 2003), was a British hurdler, Liberal Party politician and jurist.

[4][5][6] Shortly afterwards, he represented England at the 1934 British Empire Games, where he won the bronze medal in the 440 yards hurdles event.

He was commissioned into the Royal Army Service Corps in March 1939[8] and served on Field Marshal Montgomery's staff planning the Normandy landings.

[12] In 1939 he was adopted as Liberal prospective parliamentary candidate for the Stourbridge Division of Worcestershire[13] in succession to his chambers boss Donald Finnemore, but had to wait until after the war ended in 1945 to fight an election.

[15] At the 1950 General Election, after boundary changes, Stourbridge was divided with part going into the new Oldbury and Halesowen seat.

[20] He fought South Buckinghamshire again at the following general election in 1964 and this time pushed the Labour candidate into third place.
