Brownell Car Company was a horsecar and streetcar builder in St. Louis, Missouri.
The company was founded as Brownell and Wight Car Company by Frederick Brownell and Andrew Wight in 1875 as a horsecar builder, and was renamed in 1879.
It produced electric cars after horsecar service was abandoned by many cities. The company was bought by J. G. Brill and Company in 1902, either directly or through their American Car Company subsidiary.
