Ryan Thomas Lowe (born 18 September 1978) is an English footballer who is player-coach at Bury.
Born in Liverpool, Merseyside, Lowe played for Liverpool's youth team between 12 and 13, before breaking his ankle. He returned to the team aged 15 before again leaving the club. He then played with Southport's youth team and non–league Liverpool teams Sandon Dock and Waterlook Dock before joining Burscough. He moved into The Football League with Shrewsbury Town in time for 2000–01. After almost five years with the Shrews (which included a season in the Football Conference), Lowe switched to fellow Football League Two side Chester City on 22 March 2005.
He spent a year at Chester, which included scoring twice in a shock FA Cup 3–0 win over Nottingham Forest on 3 December 2005 before leaving the club by mutual consent shortly after the return to the club of manager Mark Wright.
Lowe joined Football League One side Crewe Alexandra in time for 2006–07 season. He enjoyed a successful debut for the Railwaymen, scoring the opening goal; assisting David Vaughan's goal and earning the man of the match in Crewe's 2–2 draw with Northampton Town on 5 August 2006. Lowe continued his form over the first few games of the season, scoring a further two goals in late August. However, the arrival of Rodney Jack to the club saw him lose his starting place for much of September. He returned to the starting line up on 30 September 2006 against Carlisle United. Lowe scored his only hat–trick for Crewe as they ran out 5–1 winners at The Alexandra Stadium.
