Duncan Browne is the self-titled second studio album by English singer-songwriter and musician Duncan Browne, released in 1973 through Mickie Most's Rak Records. Stylistically, the album is a continuation of Browne's folk-indebted debut album, Give Me Take You (1968) and features progressive rock and electronic music elements.

The album spawned the Bob Dylan—inspired hit single "Journey", which peaked at number 23 at UK Singles Chart. Nevertheless, both the album and the single were considered commercially unsuccessful for a followup recording, which prompted Browne to spent the next several years as a session musician.
Duncan Browne was reissued by EMI in 2002. The reissue contains additional tracks in rock music and standart singer-songwriter styles.
Critical reception
AllMusic critic Bruce Eder praised the album, stating: "Even overlooking its own intrinsic merits, Duncan Browne is worth owning as a more mature and developed, if slightly less spontaneous, expression of the sensibilities that forged Give Me Take You."
