Kevin Brown (born 2 October 1984) is an English rugby league player. He plays at centre or stand-off for Huddersfield Giants.

Former Thatto Heath Crusaders, Ashton Bears and Blackbrook youngster Kevin Brown played for Wigan Warriors' academy in 2002 and 2003. His form in 2003 was so strong that he received a call-up to Wigan's senior squad, scoring his first tries for the first team with a hat-trick against Halifax.

Kevin was called-up into the 2002 England Academy squad that beat the Australian Schoolboys in winter 2002. Kevin had been included in the stand-by squad, but got his chance following the failure of Hull FC centre Kirk Yeaman to recover from a shoulder injury.

Kevin was selected for the Super League U21s squad to face the National League U21s in June 2003. Shortly afterwards, the Warriors acknowledged the players tremendous potential by extending his contract until the end of 2005. Wigan coach Stuart Raper commented: "I am delighted Kevin has re-signed as he is a big part of my future plans."

Brown became a first team regular in 2004 and 2005, and despite injury and shaky form, he signed a new deal in July 2005 keeping him at the Warriors until the end of the 2007 season.

Newly appointed head coach Ian Millward commented: "Kevin is still only 20 and a very exciting player. He is still improving and as he gets better, which I am sure he will, he will be an important part of our attack."

In late 2006 Kevin Brown joined Huddersfield Giants on loan and on 19 August it was announced that Kevin would leave Wigan and sign a 3 year contract with Huddersfield Giants.

In June 2007 Brown was called up to the Great Britain squad for the Test match against France ^[1]
