Thomas Alexander Bowie (21 February 1877 — 23 January 1974) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and brewer.

The son of Thomas Bowie senior, an inspector of the poor,[1] he was born at Alloa in February 1877. A club cricketer for Clackmannan County, Bowie made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against the touring West Indians at Edinburgh in 1906. He played first-class cricket for Scotland until 1913, making eight appearances.[2] He scored 252 runs in his eight matches at an average of exactly 18;[3] he made two half centuries, with a highest score of 66 against Nottinghamshire in 1908.[4] With his part-time medium pace bowling, he took 4 wickets with best figures of 3 for 34.[5] Bowie served in the First World War, being commissioned as a lieutenant in the Clackmannanshire Volunteer Regiment in December 1916. Outside of cricket, Bowie was a master brewer. He died at Stirling in January 1974.
