Hugh Dunlop Brown MA BL, (1858 – 24 April 1918)[1] was an Irish author and pastor-teacher of Harcourt Street Baptist Church in Dublin. He was President of the Irish Baptist Association in 1887.[2]

He was the son of Marianne Brown and Hugh Brown Senior, the founder of the Brown Thomas establishment in Dublin.[1] A graduate of Trinity College, Dublin where he obtained a MA, he later qualified as a barrister.[citation needed]

Although his parents belonged to the Church of Ireland, Brown became a Baptist preacher and served at the Harcourt Street Baptist Church from 1887 to 1914.[1]

In 1892 he founded the Irish Baptist Training Institute at 16 Harcourt Street in Dublin, with just five students,[2][3] beside the Harcourt Street Baptist Church where he preached,[4] which later became the Irish Baptist College, which is now based outside Lisburn.[5]

He also co-founded Limerick Baptist Church in 1895.[6]

Brown died in Dublin on 24 April 1918, and is buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin.[7]
