Lloyd Andrew Brown (December 25, 1904 - January 14, 1974) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played from by|1925 through by|1940 for the Brooklyn Robins (1925), Washington Senators (1928-32), St. Louis Browns (1933), Boston Red Sox (1933), Cleveland Indians (1934-37) and Philadelphia Phillies (1940). Brown batted and threw left handed. He was born in Beeville, Texas.

Blackwell pitched for 30 years in professional baseball, including 12 major league seasons, but he is best remembered as the pitcher who delivered the most home runs to Lou Gehrig, 15, including two grand slams. Blackwell reached the majors in 1925 with the Brooklyn Dodgers, spending one year with them before moving to the Senators, Browns, Red Sox, Indians and Phillies. His most productive season came in 1930 for the poor-hitting Senators, when he posted career-numbers with 16 wins, 15 complete games and 258 innings pitched. In 1931 he won 15 games for them, collecting career-highs in ERA (3.20) and strikeouts (79), and again recorded 15 victories in 1932.

In his major career, Brown posted a 91-105 record with 510 strikeouts and a 4.20 ERA in 1693 innings.

Brown later pitched in the minor leagues from 1941 to 1953. He also managed in the minors between 1947 and 1960 and scouted for the Phillies (1957-58, 1970-71), Senators (1961-66) and Seattle Pilots (1969).

Brown died in Opa-Locka, Florida at the age of 69.
