Adam "The Flying Scotsman" Brown (February 4, 1920 — August 9, 1960) was a Canadian ice hockey forward.

Brown started his National Hockey League career with the Detroit Red Wings in 1941-42. He won the Stanley Cup with the Wings the following year. On October 28, 1945, Brown became the first player in Detroit history to score a hat trick in an opening night home game.[1] His three goals helped Detroit defeat the Boston Bruins 7–0.[2]

On October 16, 1946, Brown was in the starting lineup for the Wings along with Sid Abel and 18-year-old rookie Gordie Howe, who was appearing in his first NHL game.[3] In the second period, Abel and Brown assisted on a goal by Howe, Howe's first goal in the NHL.[4]

He also played with the Chicago Black Hawks and the Boston Bruins. He left the NHL after the 1951–52 season.

He died in a car accident on August 9, 1960. His son Andy also played in the National Hockey League, as a goaltender.
