Peter Gowans (25 May 1944 – 17 November 2009) was a Scottish football winger who played more than 100 Football League games for three different English clubs.

He started his career with junior team Dundee Shamrock, moving to Celtic for the 1960/61 season. However, Gowans did not play a senior first team game for the Scottish giants, and he moved to Crewe Alexandra in 1963.

Nineteen-year-old Gowans was signed by Crewe manager Jimmy McGuigan. He went on to spend 3 seasons with the Railwaymen, scoring 47 league goals for them.

Gowans moved to Aldershot in 1966/67 and made over 100 League appearances for The Shots. In 1970 he moved back north with Rochdale, and Gowans made a total of 155 senior league and cup appearances for them, scoring 22 goals.

After his playing career he managed Nantwich Town whilst working for British Rail.
