Jed Carlson Lowrie (born April 17, 1984) is an American professional baseball infielder for the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB). In addition to the A's, Lowrie has played in MLB for the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros. While primarily a shortstop throughout his career, Lowrie has also played third base and second base.

Lowrie was born on April 17, 1984, in Salem, Oregon, and later attended North Salem High School. In 2004, while playing for the Stanford University Cardinal baseball team, Lowrie earned Pacific-10 Conference Player of the Year honors. He was a First Team All-American in 2004 and 2005. At Stanford, future major league outfielders Sam Fuld, John Mayberry Jr., and Carlos Quentin were among Lowrie's teammates.

From 2005 through 2007, Lowrie played for Boston at three different minor league levels. During the 2007 season, he made the Eastern League All-Star team, was named the Portland Sea Dogs Most Valuable Player, and the Red Sox Minor League Offensive Player of the Year as well. He was promoted to the Pawtucket Red Sox of the Class AAA International League late in the season.
