约翰·布朗(;),美国起义领袖、废奴主义者,1856年曾参加堪萨斯内战,赢得胜利。1859年他率众在哈伯斯费里舉事,要求废除奴隶制,并逮捕一些莊園主,解放了许多奴隶。舉事失利,布朗被捕并被處絞。
约翰·布朗最开始在堪薩斯流血事件危机中引起了注意力。不像大多数北方人认为应该通过和平手段,以談判模式,協調解决奴隶制废存问题,约翰·布朗认为应该采取暴动。
在1856年5月堪萨斯的流血衝突中,他和同伴杀害了5名南方奴隶主。1859年他在弗吉尼亚州哈珀斯费里发动起义,7人(包括一名黑人)丧生,10余人受伤。3天之后,他的同伴多被杀害,起义被罗伯特·李将军镇压,約翰·布朗自己亦被逮捕并處決。約翰·布朗的死成为了引发南北战争的重要原因之一。
