Edward Clarke Lowe (15 December 1823–30 March 1912) was an English educator and a key participant in the foundation and development of the Woodard Schools.
Woodard had just begun his efforts to found, by public subscription, a system of Church of England education for the middle classes.
He made a lasting impression, and the school still performs Shakespeare plays as he established them in 1854, and celebrates the "Lowe's Dole", an annual presentation to the choristers which he funded.
He believed that university education should be open to women and with his friends eventually prevailed upon Woodard to give his blessing and use his enormous fund-raising skills for the foundation of the School of St. Anne at Abbots Bromley in 1874.
Lowe published several small educational works, In 1891 on the death of Woodard, he was elected Provost of Lancing College in succession to the founder and returned into Sussex, living at Henfield where he died in 1912.
