Brandon Kyle Bowman (born October 15, 1984) is an American professional basketball player for Maccabi Kiryat Gat of the Israeli Premier League. He played college basketball at Georgetown University where he played primarily at the small forward position under coach John Thompson III. Bowman was a preseason candidate for the 2006 John R. Wooden Award for the best collegiate men's basketball player.
Bowman attended Westchester High School in Westchester, California, where he averaged 14 points and eight rebounds while leading his team to a 32-2 record, the California State Division I-A Championship, and a USA Today No. 1 ranking in his senior year. Bowman was a member of the 2002 USA Team at the International Albert Schweitzer Youth Basketball Tournament in Mannheim, Germany.
Bowman was a third-team all-Big East Conference selection in his junior year. He was the team's leading scorer (15.1 ppg) and second leading rebounder (6.1 rpg). After declaring for the NBA draft, he withdrew his name from the candidates' list. He went back to Georgetown, rejoining senior standouts Ashanti Cook and Darrel Owens, and closed his collegiate career with 11 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, distinguishing himself particularly during the Hoyas' upset over the then undefeated #1 Duke Blue Devils, in which he scored 23 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.
After going undrafted in the 2006 NBA draft, Bowman joined the Portland Trail Blazers for the 2006 NBA Summer League. On October 2, 2006, he signed with the New Jersey Nets. However, he was later waived by the Nets on October 19, 2006.
On November 2, 2006, he was selected with the 11th overall pick by the Bakersfield Jam in the 2006 NBA D-League draft.
