Owen William Joseph Cowley (14 December 1868 – 27 February 1922) was an Australian cricketer.[1] He played eleven first-class matches for New South Wales and Queensland between 1893–94 and 1896–97.[2]

Cowley was born in Mauritius and moved to Australia with his family in 1881.[3][2]

All of Cowley's first-class cricket was played in New Zealand: seven matches on New South Wales' tour of 1893–94, and four on Queensland's tour of 1896–97.[4] He made his only first-class century for Queensland against Hawke's Bay, when he went to the wicket at 214 for 5 and scored 135, adding 238 for the sixth wicket with Robbie MacDonald, who scored 114.[5]

Cowley married Delia Kearney in Nambour in December 1905.[6][7] He was the licensee of a hotel in Nambour before taking up the licence of a hotel in Yandina in 1908.[8][9]
