Douglas William Bowden (born 19 July 1927) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket for Central Districts in New Zealand from 1950 to 1957.

Doug Bowden opened the batting with Ted Meuli in Central Districts’ inaugural first-class match, at the start of the 1950-51 season, but was not successful. He next played in 1953-54, then played most of Central Districts’ matches until 1957-58. His only fifty came in 1953-54, when he made 60, adding 103 for the second wicket with John Guy, in the victory over Canterbury.[1]

He also played in the Hawke Cup for Manawatu from 1945-46 to 1957-58, and for Bay of Plenty in 1963-64. He set a Manawatu record in a Hawke Cup elimination match in 1953-54 when he scored 234 in 348 minutes to help Manawatu overtake Hawke's Bay's first innings total of 492.[2]
