John Andrew Bowler (March 1, 1862 – October 7, 1935) was an African American educator and Baptist minister.[1] He was the first minister of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia and was one of the organizers for the first school for African Americans in Church Hill.[2] He died on October 7, 1935 and is buried in the historic Evergreen Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia.

The former Springfield School on Twenty Six Street in Richmond was renamed in his honor.
