Todd Lowrie (born 14 July 1983) is an Australian retired professional rugby league footballer who currently coaches the Newcastle Knights' NYC team. He played at lock and second-row and played for the Newcastle Knights, Parramatta Eels, Melbourne Storm, New Zealand Warriors and Brisbane Broncos.

In his younger years Lowrie was a State representative athlete in a number of track, field and sporting events.

His father, Bert Lowrie, is the current team manager for the State of Origin NSW Blues, and has a major role in the Country Rugby League.

A Scone Thoroughbreds junior, Lowrie began his career with the Newcastle Knights between 2003 and 2006.

He joined the Parramatta Eels in 2007. After a few extensive injuries to the Parramatta Eels squad Lowrie was given a chance in the first-grade run on side, he played almost every game of the 2009 season and has proved himself to be a valuable and hard-working asset to the team.

The Melbourne Storm announced the signing of Todd Lowrie for the 2010 and 2011 seasons. He played in their 2012 Grand Final victory over Canterbury-Bankstown.

In 2013, Lowrie signed the New Zealand Warriors for two seasons. After the 2013 season Lowrie was released on compassionate grounds.

After his release from the Warriors, Lowrie was signed by the Brisbane Broncos. Just two days before the Broncos 2014 match against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, Lowrie commented on Brookvale Oval, labelling it a "shithole", claiming that "the [field is] heavy, muddy and boggy". On the night of the game, Lowrie was interchanged into the match and met with a chorus of boos from the Manly fans. He played 18 games for the Broncos in the 2014 NRL season but did not play a first grade game in 2015, instead playing for the Norths Devils in the Queensland Cup.
