James Douglas Lowe (28 May 1906 — 7 November 1936) was a Scottish international rugby union player.
Lowe was the son of David Lowe, Provost of Musselburgh, and a brother of horticulturalist David Lowe.[1]
A forward, Lowe played for Edinburgh club Heriot's FP. He gained his solitary Scotland cap against Wales at Murrayfield in the 1934 Home Nations and represented Cities (Edinburgh & Glasgow) against the touring 1935–36 All Blacks.[2]
