Ricky Brown (born December 27, 1983 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American football linebacker who plays for the National Football League Oakland Raiders.

An undrafted free agent, Brown made a nice impression with the team during training camp and made it to the Raiders' practice squad. He was put on the active roster before the Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers after injuries to Grant Irons, Kirk Morrison and Sam Williams (the first of which was season-ending) threatened the linebacking corps.

Brown played college football at Boston College.
