Jeremy Francis John Bowen (born 6 February 1960, in Cardiff) is a Welsh journalist and television presenter.

Bowen was educated at Cardiff High School, University College London (BA History) and the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, DC.

He joined the BBC in 1984 and has been a war correspondent for much of his career, reporting from more than 70 different countries, predominantly in the Middle East and in Bosnia-Herzegovina during the civil war there. During his stint as BBC's Rome correspondent, he covered the death of Pope John Paul II. Soon thereafter, Bowen became the BBC Middle East Editor.

On 11 May 2008, Bowen and his camera operator came under fire in Mount Lebanon. Nobody was injured and the incident was caught on camera.[1]

Bowen has also worked as a presenter, hosting the daily news and entertainment morning show Breakfast with Sophie Raworth between 2000 and 2002. He has also been a guest host on the satirical panel game Have I Got News for You, and presented the BBC's 2001 three-part series Son of God, an investigation into the life and times of Jesus.[2]
