Robert Dillon Browne (1811 – 1 July 1850)[1] was an Irish Repeal Association politician.

Browne was born in County Mayo and educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[2] Browne was elected Repeal Association MP for Mayo at a by-election in 1836—caused by the elevation of Dominick Browne to a Peerage—and held the seat until his death in 1850.[3]
