Francis Brew (5 July 1903 – 13 January 1974) was an Australian cricketer. He played in 27 first-class matches for Queensland between 1924 and 1934,[1] and in 1938 he became a member of the Queensland state selection committee.[2]
In Brisbane Grade Cricket Brew played for Western Suburbs from 1921 to 1941 captaining the club for several seasons.[3][4] He was an all-rounder who bowled legspin,[2][1] and in grade cricket he regularly opened the batting for Western Suburbs although he was not as successful with the bat in First-class cricket never scoring a century in his state career.[4]
