"Eugene "Gene" Brown" is a retired American basketball player. He was an All-American at the University of San Francisco and was a significant player on their undefeated 1955–56 San Francisco Dons men's basketball team/1956 NCAA championship team.

Brown, a 6'2" Guard (basketball)/guard from George Washington High School (San Francisco)/George Washington High School in San Francisco, played college basketball for coach Phil Woolpert at the University of San Francisco. Brown was a key reserve for the Dons' 1955–56 NCAA men's basketball season/1955–56 team, which went undefeated and won their second straight NCAA championship. Coming off the bench for most of the season, Brown was inserted into the starting lineup in the 1956 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament/1956 NCAA tournament after star guard K. C. Jones was declared ineligible. Brown made the most of his opportunity, scoring 16 points in the NCAA championship game against Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball/Iowa.
