Simon James Brown (born 5 December 1976, in Chelmsford) is an English footballer, currently playing for Brentford in Football League Two. Brown is a goalkeeper.

Brown started his career with Tottenham Hotspur as an apprentice but did not make a first team appearance at White Hart Lane. Instead, he spent several spells on loan at lower league clubs before signing for Colchester United in 1999.

After 5 years and more than 100 starts for the Layer Road club, he moved north to join Hibernian in 2004. Brown struggled to hold down a regular place with Hibernian and was given a free transfer at the end of the 2006-07 season.

On June 13, 2007, Brentford manager Terry Butcher expressed his interest in bringing Brown to Griffin Park. Brown eventually signed for Brentford on June 25, 2007. Brown was transfer listed at the end of his first season with the club.
