James Elisha Brown (12 May 1913 – 26 January 1974) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in St. Marys, Ontario and became a lawyer by career.

He was first elected at the Brantford riding in the 1953 general election and served a term in the 22nd Canadian Parliament. Brown did not participate in the 1957 election, but returned to Parliament for the Brantford riding in the 1962 election. He was re-elected there for successive terms in the 1963 and 1965 federal elections, then was re-elected at the newly configured Brant riding in the 1968 election. Brown left Parliament before the end of his term in the 28th Canadian Parliament.
