Francis Gordon "Skim" Brown Jr. (September 6, 1879 – May 10, 1911) was an American college football guard who played for the Yale Bulldogs. He is one of only four players to have been recognized as a consensus All-American in four separate seasons.

Brown captained the 1900 Yale football team, which went 12–0, outscored its opposition 336–10, fielded seven All-Americans, was retroactively awarded the national championship, and was dubbed the "Team of the Century."
