David Andrew Rowson (born 14 September 1976 in Aberdeen, is a Scottish football player who last season 2005/6 played for Northampton as a midfielder after coming from Partick Thistle in the summer of 2004. He recently signed for Darlington on a free transfer.

He started his professional career at his hometown club Aberdeen, and was a key player during his time there, winning Scottish Under-21 caps, before leaving for Stoke in 2001. However, injuries blighted his time there, limiting him to only 18 appearances, and he returned north of the border to join Partick Thistle. After playing there for a season, he announced his desire to move to an English club in the summer, sparking a host of clubs bidding for his signature, and he joined League Two side Northampton on a two-year contract.

He impressed in his time at Sixfields, and despite injuries in the 2005/06 season, he was an important figure in Northampton's push for promotion. However, after the final game of the season, then manager Colin Calderwood decided to not offer Rowson a new contract. He recently inked a one year deal with Darlington in the English second division for the 2006/07 season.
