Ian Bowyer (born 6 June 1951 in Little Sutton near Ellesmere Port, Cheshire) is a former English footballer who spent much of his career at Nottingham Forest, and was part of their European Cup victories in 1979 and 1980. He has also had spells as a coach and manager.
He joined Hereford United as a player-coach in July 1987, succeeding John Newman as manager three months later. He led Hereford to Welsh Cup glory in 1990 before leaving the club, after reportedly allowing his son Gary Bowyer to sign for Nottingham Forest on a free transfer. Ian and Gary once played in the same match for Hereford, against Scunthorpe United in April 1990. He finished his playing career at Grantham Town.
In 1994 he became assistant manager to Peter Shilton at Plymouth Argyle and also had a similar role at Rotherham United in 1996. He later joined the coaching staff at Birmingham City.
Then, after a three year spell at Forest as first team coach, he was appointed assistant manager at Milton Keynes Dons in December 2004. However he was sacked in early 2006 and later became assistant manager at Rushden & Diamonds, leaving the club later that year. He is currently working as a scout for Portsmouth F.C.
