Robert Brown (died 1935) was an English association football player and manager in the early twentieth century.
After an undistinguished career in semi-professional football in his native north-east England, Brown joined Sheffield Wednesday as a scout.
In May 1920 he was appointed manager of Gillingham in preparation for the club's first season in the Football League, but he resigned just four weeks later, before the team had even played its first League match, in order to return to Sheffield Wednesday as manager.
After thirteen years in charge at Hillsborough he retired from football management in 1933, soon after the death of his wife.
