Archibald G. Brown

The Reverend Dr Archibald Geikie Brown (July 18, 1844–April 2, 1922) was a Baptist minister and a disciple of the noted Victorian era preacher Charles Spurgeon. He became the Pastor at the famous Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, the church formerly pastored by Spurgeon and other notable preachers.

For a period he was the President of the London Baptist Association and founded a number of Baptist Tabernacles, including his large Tabernacle in the East End of London, which opened in 1872. It was described at the time as "a building for extent and variety of Christian work second only to Mr. Spurgeon's". In the same article, Brown was stated to have been of the most successful students who had trained in the Pastors' College.

In 1887 he and Spurgeon withdrew from the Baptist Union because of the "down grade controversy".
