Tina Brown (born 22 August 1976) is a British female former distance runner who competed mostly in the 3000 metres steeplechase and the 1500 metres.[1] She twice represented England in the steeplechase at the Commonwealth Games (2006 and 2010).[2] She was nationally prominent during the period when the women's steeplechase event gained championship level status, and she set a British record of 9:48.57 minutes in 2005 (beaten a year later by Lizzie Hall).[3]

A member of Coventry Godiva Harriers,[4] she was twice a national champion in the steeplechase, winning the first ever national women's race over the 3000 m distance in 2004 and retaining that title the following year ahead of her rival Jo Ankier.[5] She also ranked highly at national level in the 3000 metres flat, with her best finish being runner-up to Lisa Dobriskey at the 2006 AAA Indoor Championships.[6]
