Lauren Ann Fowlkes (born July 6, 1988) is a retired American soccer player from Lee's Summit, Missouri. She was a defender for the United States women's national under-23 soccer team and the Chicago Red Stars of National Women's Soccer League.
Originally brought to Notre Dame as a midfielder, Fowlkes also had a brief stint at forward for the Fighting Irish during her freshman year, until she was moved to defender for the rest of the 2007 season. Under the mentorship of Carrie Dew, Fowlkes started twenty games for Notre Dame as central defender, and led the team in minutes played (2,324 minutes) during 2007.
Fowlkes was expected to move back into the midfield in 2008, but mostly remained as part of the defense. As a sophomore, she did not start as many games as she had her freshman year, as she was absent for part of the 2008 season and Notre Dame's entire NCAA postseason due to national team commitments. Notre Dame lost to North Carolina, 1–2, in the 2008 College Cup, on the same day Fowlkes and the United States women's national under-20 soccer team defeated North Korea, 2–1, to win the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
