Roger Leedham Brown (born 9 August 1959) is a former Australian first-class cricketer, who until the arrival of Jason Gillespie, had played more first-class matches than any other Aboriginal Australian.[1]

Born in Launceston, Tasmania, Brown played for Tasmania between 1984 and 1987, and represented Young Australia in Zimbabwe in 1985 and the Australian Prime Minister's XI against England in 1986/87. Brown was also a leading soccer player in Tasmania, representing Launceston Juventus.[1]
