Charles John Brown
Charles John Brown KC*HS (born 13 October 1959) is an American prelate of the Catholic Church who has been serving as an apostolic nuncio since 2012. He is currently the apostolic nuncio to the Philippines. He previously served in the same position in Albania and Ireland. He was consecrated as an archbishop in 2012.

Charles Brown was born on October 13, 1959, in the East Village of Manhattan, then a mostly Jewish neighborhood.

After his ordination, the archdiocese assigned Brown as an assistant pastor at St. Brendan's Parish in the Bronx Borough of New York City. In 1991, O'Connor sent Brown to study in Rome. He earned a Doctor of Sacred Theology degree at the Pontifical University St. Anselmo. In 1994, Brown stayed in Rome to join the staff of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, where he worked closely with then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) for 17 years.
