Chris Lowery (born July 7, 1972) is an American college basketball coach currently serving as an assistant coach at Kansas State University under head coach Bruce Weber. He was previously head coach of the Southern Illinois Salukis men's basketball team. He started in the spring of 2004 and was fired on March 2, 2012.
Born in Evansville, Indiana, Lowery played at Southern Illinois starting in 1990 and later became an assistant coach, eventually serving under Bruce Weber at SIU and moving with him to Illinois after the 2002–03 season. On April 9, 2004, Lowery was named the head coach of SIU's men's basketball team after Matt Painter left to become an associate head coach/head coach designate to Gene Keady at Purdue University.
On March 1, 2007, Lowery was named Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year after leading SIU to a 25–5 regular season record. A highlight win for the season was when they beat the highly ranked Butler Bulldogs on the road. The Salukis received a number-four seed in the 2007 NCAA Tournament, the highest for any Valley team since Indiana State received a 1-seed in 1979.
