John Myer Bowers (September 25, 1772 Boston, Massachusetts – February 24, 1846 Cooperstown, Otsego County, New York) was a U.S. Representative from New York.
Bowers graduated from Columbia College in New York City. Then he studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1802, and commenced practice in Cooperstown. He moved to his country home, "Lakelands," near Cooperstown, in 1805.
He was declared elected as a Federalist to the 13th United States Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Representative-elect William Dowse and served from June 21 to December 20, 1813, when Isaac Williams, Jr., who had contested the election, was declared entitled to the seat. Afterwards Bowers resumed his practice of law in Cooperstown.
He was buried at the Lakewood Cemetery.
