The Fowl Family is a criminal family in the fictional teen series Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. It currently consists of Artemis Fowl I, his wife Angeline Fowl, twins Myles and Beckett and the main character of the Artemis Fowl series, Artemis Fowl II.

The family motto of the Fowl family is Aurum Potestas Est (Gold is Power), or sometimes known as Aurum Est Potestas.

Artemis Fowl I is the patriarch of the Irish Fowl family, the husband of Angeline Fowl and the father of Artemis Fowl II. He is a former crime lord, but some time before the start of the first book, he decided to move all of the family's assets into legitimate enterprises. After the fall of the Soviet Union, he attempts to create trade connections with Russia. He takes the family ship, the Fowl Star, loaded with 250 thousand cans of cola from Ireland to Russia, but he is intercepted and kidnapped by the Russian Mafiya near Murmansk, Russia. When the Mafiya find him after the explosion, his leg is missing. After over a year of not being found, he is declared legally dead by the courts. The fact that the family lost much money over his death motivated his son Artemis Fowl II to take on the exploits that occur in the first book. Much of the money accumulated in this and other ventures is spent directly on financing unsuccessful rescue expeditions in the Arctic. In the second book, The Arctic Incident, Artemis Fowl receives a message from the Russian Mafiya that they have his father, and sets out to rescue the man while helping save "The People" from the Goblin Revolution by defeating the masterminds.
