Michael E. Brown (sündinud 5. juunil 1965) on Ameerika Ühendriikide astronoom, kes on alates 2003. aastast California Tehnoloogiainstituudi planetoloogia professor. Tema meeskond avastas esimesed Neptuuni-tagused objektid, sealhulgas 136199 Erise, mida peeti algselt suuremaks kui Pluuto.

Teised ja ta ise on teda kirjeldanud kui "meest, kes tappis Pluuto", sest Erise ja teiste kääbusplaneetide avastamine aitas kaasa Pluuto kääbusplaneediks taandamisele.[1] 2012. aastal sai Brown koos David C. Jewitti ja Jane Luuga Kuiperi vöö avastamise ja kirjeldamise eest Kavli auhinna.
