Ronald Brown (born 7 August 1926) was the Suffragan Bishop of Birkenhead from 1974 until 1992.

Brown was educated at Durham University. After a curacy at St Laurence Chorley he was vicar of Whittle-le-Woods. Following this he was vicar of St Thomas', Halliwell, Bolton and then (his final appointment before his ordination to the episcopate) rural dean of Ashton-under-Lyne. In retirement he continued to serve as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Liverpool until 2003. As of 2011, Brown had returned to live in Chester, but there is no confirmation that he is licensed as a bishop in that diocese.
