Edward James McKenzie "Ed" Cowan (born 16 June 1982) is an Australian Test cricketer who has played for the British Universities, New South Wales (NSW), Tasmania, Oxford MCCU and Nottinghamshire teams. He is a left handed opening batsman.
Cowan attended Tudor House School in Moss Vale and Cranbrook School in Bellevue Hill where he played in the school 1st XI aged only 14, and scored 218 not out, and went on to the under-17 New South Wales championships. Whilst in Year 12 he was selected to play for the Australian under 19s side to tour Sri Lanka. He played for the University of Sydney Cricket Club and made his debut for NSW in 2005.
In 2009, Cowan joined the Tasmanian Tigers where a successful season saw him score 225 vs South Australia in his first game at home. This was followed on by two other centuries at Bellerive Oval and a successful Ford Ranger Cup premiership. In 2011 Cowan published a book, his diary of the 2010/2011 Sheffield Shield season entitled In the Firing Line. Cowan was selected for Australia A in June 2010 to play Sri Lanka, where he scored a century in a convincing series win.

Shed tears of blood in the evening sun.
Bathed in orange and silhouetted.
The brightness decieves.
You ripped out my heart.
Your smile decieves.
Turn your sour face to the sky.
Bare reddened teeth in a somber
Grin not reflected in your vacant eyes.
