Arthur Browne, (1756-1805) was appointed to the regius professorship of civil and canon law at Trinity College Dublin in 1785.

He was elected to the Irish parliament in 1783. He was devoted to civil liberties, to the reform of parliament and to the relief of Roman Catholics from legal oppressions. Browne had a successful career at the Bar, becoming a K.C. in 1795 and a bencher of the King's Inns in 1803. He was the last holder of the office of prime serjeant in 1802.
