Larry Ray Brown (February 9, 1943 – August 16, 2012) was an American politician. He was a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, and represented the 73rd district from 2005 to 2012. After redistricting, he lost the May 2012 Republican primary election for the 74th district and died of a heart attack while in office on August 16, 2012.[1][2]

A controversy arose in 2010 after he referred to gays as "fruitloops" and "queers" in an email to fellow House members.[3]
