Gerald Arthur Lowe (1931 – 15 April 2012) was an Australian rugby league player.
A product of Tamworth rugby league, Lowe spent the 1952 NSWRFL season with the Western Suburbs Magpies, having been recommended by former player Vic Williams. He appeared occasionally as a five–eighth, but was utilised mainly as a centre, including for their grand final win over South Sydney.[1] In 1953, Lowe returned home to Tamworth.[2] He was in talks to play again for Western Suburbs in 1954, but instead opted to join Cowra.[3]
Lowe had a brother Bobby who briefly played first–grade for the Magpies.[4]
