Eileen Kampakuta Brown AM (born 1 January 1938) is an Aboriginal elder from Australia. She was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2003^[1] together with Eileen Wani Wingfield, for their efforts to stop governmental plans for a nuclear waste dump in South Australia's desert land, and for protection of their land and culture.^[2]^[3]

Brown, Wingfield and other elder women formed the Cooper Pedy Women's Council (Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta) in 1995.^[2]

As a child Brown often had to hide from government officials, who had a policy of removing biracial children from their families and sending them to institutions.^[4] In 2000 she and Eileen Wani Wingfield published 'Down the Hole, a children's book based on their experiences of hiding from the authorities.^[5]
