Michael Burton Brown (born March 5, 1970) is an American basketball coach who is the head coach of the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was previously the head coach of the Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers, as well as an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors. Brown also served as the head coach of the Nigeria men's national team from 2020 until 2022, coaching the team at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Brown began coaching the Cavaliers in 2005. The team reached the 2007 NBA Finals, where they were swept by the San Antonio Spurs. Brown was honored as NBA Coach of the Year for leading the Cavaliers to a team-record and league-best 66 wins in 2009. The following year, they won 61 games, again a league-best. However, after losing to the Boston Celtics in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals, Brown was fired. He succeeded Phil Jackson as the head coach of the Lakers in 2011 before being dismissed five games into the 2012–13 season. Brown returned to the Cavaliers in 2013, but was fired after one season. He then joined the Warriors as associate head coach in 2016; the team went on to defeat the Cavaliers in 2017 and 2018, and the Boston Celtics in 2022.

Brown departed from the Warriors in 2022 to become the head coach of the Kings. In his first year as head coach, Brown led the Kings to their first playoff appearance in 17 years, snapping the longest playoff drought in NBA history. For his efforts, Brown became the first-ever unanimous NBA Coach of the Year award winner and was named to the NBCA Coach of the Year award in 2023. After a 13–18 start to the 2024–25 season, Brown was dismissed by the Kings. The following year, he became the head coach of the Knicks and led the team to their first championship in 53 years.
