John Cowley

John Norman Cowley (7 February 1885 – 5 August 1957) was an English first-class cricketer.

Born in Marylebone, he was the grandson of first-class cricketer Robert Broughton. Cowley made his debut in minor counties cricket for Hertfordshire against Cambridgeshire at Fenner's in 1908. He played infrequently for Hertfordshire up until 1911, making a total of five appearances in the Minor Counties Championship. Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring by John Heathcoat-Amory in the Free Foresters first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by Orme Bristowe for the same score. He served in the London Regiment during World War I, initially as a private before promotion to lieutenant in February 1915. He died in Bovingdon, Hertfordshire in August 1957.
