Browne Bushell (bap. 1609, d. 1651), was an English Civil War-era naval officer.[1][2] He initially sided with the Roundheads. On the night of 15 August 1641 he led a small parliamentary force in a cutting out operation to capture the Henrietta Marie in Portsmouth harbour.[3] In 1643 he switched to the royalist side.[4] He was executed for treason in March 1651.[1][2]
