Scott Peter Andrew Brown (born 26 April 1985) is an English former football player who is head of goalkeeping at EFL League One club Bristol Rovers.
Brown spent the early part of his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Welshpool Town and Bristol City before making his debut in the English Football League with Cheltenham Town in January 2006. He established himself as the club's first-choice goalkeeper by the 2008–09 season and stayed with Cheltenham until May 2014, playing a total of 282 games for the club, including an appearance at Wembley Stadium in the 2012 League Two play-off final, which ended in a 2–0 defeat to Crewe Alexandra. He was voted Cheltenham Town's Player of the Year for the 2012–13 season. He signed with Aberdeen in May 2014 and helped the club to finish as runners-up in the Scottish Premiership in both the 2014–15 and 2015–16 campaigns. He joined Wycombe Wanderers in July 2016 but initially failed to win a first-team place and instead spent time on loan at Eastleigh and Cheltenham Town. He was then an ever-present as Wycombe won promotion out of EFL League Two at the end of the 2017–18 season. He signed with Port Vale in May 2018 and went on to win the club's Player of the Year award for the 2018–19 season. He spent three seasons at Port Vale without missing a league game and then joined Exeter City as a player-coach in June 2021. He joined the backroom staff at Rotherham United the following year and became co-caretaker manager in November 2023.
