Archibald Geikie Brown (July 18, 1844 – April 2, 1922) was a Baptist minister and a disciple of the noted Victorian era preacher Charles Spurgeon. From 1908 to 1911 he was Pastor at the famous Metropolitan Tabernacle [1] in London, the church formerly pastored by Spurgeon and other notable preachers.

For a period he was the President of the London Baptist Association and founded a number of Baptist Tabernacles, including the large East London Tabernacle in the East End of London, which opened in 1872. It was described at the time as "a building for extent and variety of Christian work second only to Mr. Spurgeon's". In the same article, Brown was stated to have been of the most successful students who had trained in the Pastors' College.[2]

In 1887 he and Spurgeon withdrew from the Baptist Union because of the "down grade controversy".[3] In 1897 he preached at Cooper Union in Manhattan in the United States.[4] He published several books of sermons, including 'The Devil's Mission of Amusement' (1889).[5]
