JOHN BROWN OF WAMPHRAY, was a Church of Scotland theologian who served as the minister of the parish of Wamphray in Annandale during the mid-17th century. He removed to Wamphray to begin serving the parish at an unknown date (estimates vary from 1637 until 1655) and remained in residence until 1662, when he was imprisoned and later exiled to the Netherlands for his public opposition to the royal imposition of bishops on the Church.
