John M. Dowd is an American lawyer and the investigator and author of a report that led to the banning of Major League Baseball player Pete Rose. In his role as Special Counsel to the Commissioner, A. Bartlett Giamatti, he produced the Dowd Report which detailed Rose's betting on baseball games in the 1980s, including teams Rose was managing at the time. The report led to Rose's lifetime ban in August 1989. The current investigation issued by baseball commissioner Bud Selig led by George J. Mitchell has been compared to that led by Dowd.

As of 2006 Dowd is a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of law firm Akin, Gump, Strauss Hauer and Feld.
