Jesse Benjamin Brown is a Canadian journalist, media personality, and businessperson. In 2013, he founded the Canadaland podcast that grew into a podcasting company.

Brown's 2014 investigative reports with Kevin Donovan, published by the Toronto Star, focused on various women who claimed to have endured non-consensual violent conduct and workplace sexual harassment from Canadian radio and television personality Jian Ghomeshi.[2][3] Ghomeshi was later acquitted of all charges at his trial.
