Katie Brown is an American home and gardening television show host. Her series have included Next Door on Lifetime Television, Katie Brown on Style Network, and most recently, All Year Round on A&E. She also hosts Katie Brown @ Home on the Video On Demand network Mag Rack. A new show, The Katie Brown Workshop, began airing on PBS in Spring 2006.

Katie Brown also has numerous books out on the subjects of cooking, gardening, and decorating: Katie Brown Decorates, Katie Brown Entertains, Katie Brown Weekends, and the forthcoming Katie Brown Outdoors (Spring 2007).

She comes from America's heartland, born in Petosky, Michigan, where there were always ways to enjoy Mother Nature. The second of four children, Katie’s mother would often pile Katie and her three siblings into the car and take them on a day in the great outdoors to explore, learn, and experience all that nature had to offer. In her loving, close-knit, and sprawling family—32 cousins, 14 aunts and uncles—domestic life demanded a practical, economical and no-nonsense set of skills, and Katie learned them well. These two loves of nature and family, along with the sensible knowledge, have stayed with her and continue to inspire her. Today, Katie tries to remind her family and other families of the wonderful things that nature gives us and ways to celebrate it.

In Katie Brown's world, "the art of the home is in the heart of the home."
