Kenneth McKenzie Brown OBE (August 3, 1887 – February 28, 1955) was a pulp and paper worker and politician in the Dominion of Newfoundland. He represented Twillingate from 1923 to 1932 as a member of the Fisherman's Protective Union and Grand Falls from 1932 to 1934 as a member of the United Newfoundland Party in the Newfoundland House of Assembly.
Brown was elected to the Newfoundland National Convention in 1946 where he was an opponent of Newfoundland's Confederation with Canada. He suffered a stroke during the convention while arguing against sending a delegation to Ottawa to work out potential Terms of Union.
