Margaret Sibella Brown (March 2, 1866 – November 16, 1961) was a Canadian amateur bryologist specializing in mosses and liverworts native to Nova Scotia. Early in her career she was involved with gathering supplies of sphagnum moss to be used as surgical dressings during World War I, when cotton was in short supply.
After the war, she researched mosses from around the world, collecting specimens in Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States, as well as her native Canada.
She published several papers in academic journals, some on materials she had collected herself and some cataloging samples collected by other investigators.
Samples she collected are now housed at several major herbaria in North America and Europe.
