Warren P. Brown (born December 10, 1955) is an American politician and cancer research activist. He served as the county administrator of Sandusky County, Ohio from 2010 to 2015, and is a member of the Republican Party. Brown is also a major contributor to fundraising for cancer research, especially that which concerns the Clyde cancer cluster, a cancer cluster in which Clyde, Ohio is the epicenter. His youngest daughter, Alexa Brown, suffered from brain cancer throughout most of her life, and, despite years of treatment, died in late 2009, at the age of 11. In 2013, Brown and his wife brought up a class-action lawsuit against the Whirlpool Corporation, after it was discovered that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were discovered in the soil of the former Green Springs park Whirlpool Park, which they formerly owned. Brown was interviewed in many documentaries concerning the cancer cluster.

Viewpoints
Brown has stated numerous times that he prioritizes research into childhood cancer over adult cancer. He certainly has recognized that cancer in children can differ greatly from cancer in adults, and has emphasized this when expressing his opinion on priority. He has criticized agencies such as the National Cancer Institute for placing far more effort and funds towards the research of cancer in adults than in children.

In August of 2012, Brown stated that he believed that by this time, the overall cause of the Clyde cancer cluster, whatever it may have been, was gone, since he believed that the carcinogen was "transient."
