Joel Bowden (born 21 June 1978) is an Australian rules footballer with the Richmond Football Club.
Since his debut in 1996, he has carved a reputation as one of the Tigers' favourite sons. He was drafted at the end of 1995 under a father-son selection, and is the son of former Richmond 1969 premiership player Michael Bowden.
In 2006, Bowden was among the leading possession getters in the AFL, and had the most possessions shared between any two players with his brother Patrick. He played as a loose man in defence and was sometimes noted for having several short kicks and handballs, with his possessions not considered the most damaging.
In 2005 Joel married Katie, and in 2006 they welcomed the birth of their first child, a daughter named Alice.
