Percival Henry Rowe (4 January 1896 – 27 August 1976) was a player and coach in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and Victorian Football Association (VFA).
Rowe is most notable for his time as captain-coach of the Northcote Football Club, where he oversaw the most successful period in the club's history. Rowe played and coached at Northcote from 1929 until 1934, winning four premierships (1929, 1932-33-34) and finishing runners-up twice (1930–31) in those six seasons.[1]
After leaving Northcote, Rowe was the coach of the Fitzroy Football Club in 1935[2] and the Carlton Football Club for only the 1937 season before he was replaced by captain-coach Brighton Diggins.[3] He is the father of Des Rowe, who captained Richmond.[4]
