The Rev. Francis Brown (January 11, 1784, Chester, New Hampshire - July 27, 1820) served as the president of Dartmouth College. He graduated from the College in 1805 and from 1806-1809 held a tutorship there. He also served a pastor in a Congregational church in North Yarmouth, Maine. Brown was removed from his presidency at the College as part of the actions that resulted in the Dartmouth College case, but was reinstated following the 1819 decision in favor of the College.
