Hardy Brown (May 8, 1924 – November 8, 1991) was an American football linebacker in the National Football League, AAFC, and the AFL. He played college football at the University of Tulsa and then professionally for the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, and the Denver Broncos. He was one of only two men who played in the All-America Football Conference, the National Football League, and the American Football League. (The other was Ben Agajanian.)

When Brown was four years old, he witnessed the murder of his father. He was then sent, along with his brothers and sisters, to live at the Texas Masonic Home, an orphanage for the children of deceased Freemasons in Fort Worth, Texas. At the Masonic Home, Brown was a standout football player for the Mighty Mites, leading them to the state semi-finals his senior year. He then briefly enlisted in the U.S. Army before playing football at Tulsa and eventually in the NFL.
