Ebenezer Brown (ca 1824 – June 5, 1883〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vital Event Death Registration )〕)was an English-born wholesale merchant and political figure in British Columbia. He represented New Westminster from 1875 to 1878 and New Westminster City from 1878 to 1881 in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.
He was educated in England and came to British Columbia in 1858. A stonemason, he erected the border monument at the Point Roberts=Tsawwassen boundary.〔letter from John C.

==Political life==
He served on the municipal council for New Westminster. Brown was president of the province's Executive Council (the cabinet) from February to September 1876. He resigned his seat in the assembly in November 1881 due to poor health.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Electoral History of British Columbia, 1871-1986 )〕 Another version from a fellow MLA says he retired because of conflict of interest issues relating to railway developments.〔letter from John C. Brown, another former MLA, January 14 1927, quoted in ''Place Names of the Delta of the Fraser River'', Denys Nelson, 1927, unpublished manuscript held in the Provincial Archives, quoted in BC Names entry "Brownsville (former locality)"]〕 Brown died two years later in New Westminster at the age of 59.〔
