C. Bernard Lowe (1885 – after 1914) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[1]

Born in Cradley Heath, Staffordshire, Lowe played Birmingham League football for several years before joining Birmingham City in 1908.[2] A skilful and creative inside forward, he made his debut in the Football League Second Division on 7 November 1908 in a 2–1 win at home to Barnsley.[3] After 17 games in two and a half years, and being played out of his preferred position too often, he returned to non-league football with Darlaston and then with Netherton. Lowe retired from the game during the First World War.[2]
