Ron Dowling (27 June 1913 - 5 March 2005) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Dowling, an engineer by profession, played as an amateur during his league career.[1] He was on the wing for Collingwood in both the 1937 and 1938 VFL Grand Finals, which they lost.[2] A suspension cost an appearance in a third successive grand final in 1939, having been found guilty of striking Melbourne player Keith Truscott in the semi-final.[3]
Before he died, at the age of 91 in 2005, he was the oldest living Collingwood player.[4]
