Walt Brown (December 30, 1911 in New York City – July 29, 1951 in Williams Grove, Pennsylvania) was an American racecar driver. A Champ Car specialist, his career in the big cars began in 1941, and he recorded one win, in 1948 at Langhorne. Brown died in a low speed accident at Williams Grove on 29 July 1951, the day widely known as Black Sunday because two other drivers also died (in consecutive qualifying runs at Winchester) on the same day.
