Marty Brown (born July 25, 1965 in Maceo, Kentucky[1]) is an American country music artist. Active between 1991 and 1996, he has released four studio albums to date, and has charted one single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.

Brown's first recording contract was with MCA Records in 1991. While on that label, he recorded three studio albums: 1991's High and Dry, 1993's Wild Kentucky Skies, and 1994's Cryin', Lovin', Leavin'. Although all three of these albums received critical acclaim for his neotraditionalist country style and solid songwriting,[1][2] none of them produced any major hits.[1] His fourth studio album, Here's to the Honky Tonks, was released in 1996 on HighTone Records, and he has not recorded any albums since, although he did co-write Tracy Byrd's 1998 single "I'm from the Country".
