Richard P. "Stub" Brown (August 3, 1870 – March 10, 1948) was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1893 to 1897, for the Baltimore Orioles and Cincinnati Reds. He stood at 6' 2" and weighed 220 lbs.

Career Brown started his professional baseball career in 1893, with the National League's Baltimore Orioles. He pitched nine innings and allowed six earned runs in his rookie season. The Orioles would eventually win the pennant that year.

After leaving Baltimore, Brown pitched for the Lynchburg Hill Climbers of the Virginia League. In 1896, he went 7–2 with a 3.35 earned run average. He made it back to the major leagues with the Cincinnati Reds in 1897.
