Robert Reid Dower (4 June 1876 – 15 September 1964) was a Cape Colony cricketer who played in one Test match in 1899. He was also a lawyer.[1]

Dower top-scored in each innings for Eastern Province XV against the touring English team in January 1899, with 30 and 37 as an opening batsman.[2] He was selected to play in the first of two Tests three weeks later, but was not successful batting at number four, and never played another Test.[3] He played only six first-class matches over 10 years, with a highest score of 17.[4]

Dower and his wife Gertrude had four sons and a daughter.[5] At the time of his death in September 1964, aged 88, he was South Africa's oldest living Test cricketer.[1]
