Norman "Norrie" Rowan (born 17 September 1951) is a former Scotland international rugby union player.

He played for Forrester and later Boroughmuir.

He played for Edinburgh District.

He had 3 caps for Scotland 'B', the first against France 'B' on 19 March 1978.

He received thirteen caps playing as prop forward for the national team.

He was nominated for Rugby World's "Unsung Hero" award in 1989 – he was the only Scot to be given an award in that year, after playing in all Five Nations matches that year.

As a businessman he has run a number of pubs and bars in Edinburgh, including the Tron Tavern in the Old Town, where it was traditional for the Scotland team to entertain visiting rugby players after international games.

In 1996, he was fined £250 after threatening to kill a lawyer, after a business deal collapsed. The QC at Edinburgh Sheriff Court stated that: "It won't do, however angry you were about your own personal affairs... this behaviour will not be tolerated."
