William Heartz Brown (February 25, 1883 – May 24, 1967) was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Yarmouth in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1949 to 1956. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.

Brown was born in 1883 at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. He married Etta May, and was employed as a superintendent at a textile plant. He served on town council in Yarmouth from 1948 to 1952. Brown entered provincial politics in the 1949 election, winning the dual-member Yarmouth riding with Liberal Donald J. Fraser.
