Eileen Kampakuta Brown AM (born 1 January 1938) is an Aboriginal elder from Australia. She was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2003[2] together with Eileen Wani Wingfield, for their efforts to stop governmental plans for a nuclear waste dump in South Australia's desert land, and for protection of their land and culture.[3]

Brown, Wingfield and other elder women formed the Cooper Pedy Women's Council (Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta) in 1995.[3]
