Larry Mowry (born October 20, 1936) is an American professional golfer who has won tournaments on the Senior PGA Tour (now known as the Champions Tour).
Mowry was born in San Diego, California. He turned pro in 1959. Mowry spent his regular career as a club professional, only occasionally entering PGA Tour events. His best finish in a major was a T-11 at the 1969 PGA Championship.
Mowry's win at the 1987 Crestar Classic made him the first player in Senior Tour history to win an event after making it through the rigors of Monday qualifying. That victory also made him the first former club professional to post an official Senior Tour win. The biggest win of Mowry's career came at the 1989 Senior PGA Championship, which was held at the PGA National Golf Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
