Don Cowan (born 16 November 1989) is an American former professional footballer who played as a winger or forward.

Cowan began his career with Shamrock Rovers, playing for the club's reserve team before making several substitute appearances for the first team over two seasons. He joined Longford Town on loan to gain first-team experience, a move that was made permanent ahead of the 2011 season. After establishing himself as a regular at Longford, Cowan signed for League One club Stevenage for an undisclosed fee in August 2011. He later joined Braintree Town on loan in November 2012, though the spell was curtailed by injury, and he left Stevenage by mutual consent in January 2013.

He subsequently had brief stints with Scottish Premier League club Dundee and Southend United of League Two in 2013, as well as a one-month return to Stevenage later that year. Cowan rejoined Longford in January 2014 and helped the club gain promotion to the League of Ireland Premier Division during the 2014 season. He remained with Longford for four seasons, scoring four goals in 78 appearances, before retiring from professional football in 2017.
