Andrew Conrad "Andy" Brown (born February 15, 1944) is a Canadian retired ice hockey goaltender. He played with the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League, the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association and several teams in the minor leagues. In 1973–74 he incurred 60 minutes in penalties, then the NHL record for penalty minutes in a season by a goaltender. He was the last goalie to play without a mask in the NHL, on April 7, 1974 in a 6–3 loss to the Atlanta Flames; he continued to play without a mask throughout his three seasons in the WHA. His insistence on playing barefaced earned him the nickname "Fearless".[1][2]

His father, Adam, also played in the National Hockey League, as a left winger.[1]
