Crowdy Head is a headland on the coast of New South Wales, Australia, 7km from Harrington between Forster and Port Macquarie, overlooking the mouth of the Manning River. The head is mostly cleared and was quarried between 1895 and 1901 for the Manning River training wall.

Crowdy Head is the site of Crowdy Head Light, a 24 feet (7.3 m) tall lighthouse built in 1878. It is also home to Crowdy Head Surf Life Saving Club.
