John McDowell (born September 7, 1951 in East Ham, London) is an English former footballer.

McDowell was a first-team regular for West Ham United for ten years, missing only the 1976-77 due to injury. He played as a defender, replacing Billy Bonds as right-back after the latter had switched to midfield. He made his league debut in October 1969 against Blackburn Rovers.

McDowell joined Norwich City in August 1979 for £20,000, making his debut in a 4-2 win at Everton on August 18, 1979. He made 45 appearances for the club, scoring one goal.

He left Norwich in May 1982 to become assistant manager at Bristol Rovers.
