Father Brown is a BBC detective TV series, loosely based on stories by G.K. Chesterton and starring Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter films) as a parish Roman Catholic priest Father Brown who has great abilities in solving mysteries and crimes. The setting is moved from Edwardian era to early 1950s that greatly affects the stories so only the base ideas of G.K. Chesterton remains intact. Like in most other British detective TV series, very little firearms are seen.

The following weapons were used in the television series Father Brown:
