Ian Brown (born February 20, 1963) is a solo British musician and former lead singer of The Stone Roses, a popular indie rock band. Since the Roses broke up in 1996, Brown has released 4 solo albums and achieved moderate success in his native country. He has appeared on several club tours and has performed at the Glastonbury Festival three times since 1998.

Nicknamed "King Monkey" by Dodgy's Matthew Priest, Brown is noted for his wispy singing style. He is not the most technically sound singer and some critics have compared his delivery to "a man shouting into a bucket".
