Mitchell "Mitch" Brown (born 28 August 1990) is an Australian rules footballer for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Brown was selected by Geelong with their first round selection (15th overall) in the 2008 AFL Draft, after originally not being considered by most as a top-20 selection.[1] He had previously been playing with the Cheltenham Panthers and the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup. He was originally not selected by the Dragons until he had a growth spurt and performed well for his school, Mentone Grammar School.[2]

A tall forward, he is expected to help Geelong cover the loss of Nathan Ablett.[3] He has also represented Victoria at cricket at junior levels.[2]

Brown broke his leg in a VFL practice match and missed the 2009 season.[4]
