Harry Joe Brown (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania September 22, 1890-Palm Springs, California April 28, 1972) was a movie producer and supervisor who was also a theatre and film director. Brown died from a heart attack.

As producer, he was notably involved in the fruitful partnership with director Budd Boetticher, actor Randolph Scott and screenwriter Burt Kennedy which generated a series of fine westerns between 1957 and 1960 (The Tall T, Decision at Sundown, Buchanan Rides Alone, Ride Lonesome, and Comanche Station) through a company he created with Randolph Scott which eventually assumed the name of The Ranown Pictures Corp.

Son, with Eilers, Harry Joe Jr.
