Louis Patrick "Lou" Rowan (2 May 1925 – 3 February 2017) was an Australian Test cricket match umpire who umpired the first One Day International at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 5 January 1971.
He umpired 25 Test matches between 1963 and 1971 and became Australia's senior umpire after the retirement of Col Egar.
As a Detective Sergeant with the Queensland drug squad, Rowan took no nonsense and was inclined to stand on his authority.
His first match was with Umpire Bill Smyth between Australia and England at Sydney on 11 January to 15 January 1963.
