Isabel Mary Peyronnet Browne (1881–1947) was a British botanist and palaeobotanist. She published several papers on the evolution and classification of ferns and horsetails. Despite having no formal education and never working as a professional scientist, she was made Fellow of the Linnaean Society in 1909.

Browne was born in London to Irish nobility, one of twin daughters of George Browne, 3rd Marquess of Sligo and his third wife, a daughter of Baron Paul Louis Jules de Peyronnet (grand-daughter of Pierre-Denis, Comte de Peyronnet).
