Kenneth Desmond Rowe (19 November 1925 – 12 May 2007)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played in the Victorian Football League (VFL) between 1946 and 1957 for the Richmond Football Club.

After a successful season with Coburg (where his father was the coach) in 1945, Rowe crossed to Richmond where he became one of the finest half backs in the VFL.

A regular player for Victoria, Rowe earned All Australian selection at the 1956 Perth carnival.

Rowe was made Richmond captain in 1952, a position he held until the end of his senior playing career.
