Brigham Dwaine Madsen (October 21, 1914  - December 24, 2010) was an American historian with an emphasis on indigenous peoples of the American West, the people of Utah and surrounding states, and Mormonism. He was a longtime professor at the University of Utah.[3] [4]

Madsen published six books on the Shoshone-Bannock.[5] In Madsen's later life, he became a proponent Book of Mormon studies anchored in the 19th Century context of the book's publication rather than a focus on the ancient setting of the book's narrative. Madsen edited the previously unpublished, early-20th-century Studies of the Book of Mormon by B. H. Roberts (1857–1933).[6]
