Uton George Dowe was a Jamaican cricketer. (born 29 March 1949). He played only four Tests for the West Indies as a fast bowler in the 1970s.

Despite having such a short career, Dowe is famous for the so-called 11th commandment 'Dowe shalt not bowl' - dished out to him in his final Test match against Australia in 1972/73, where his erratic bowling to Keith Stackpole displeased the crowd.[1]
