Forrest Grady "Spec" Towns (February 6, 1914 – April 9, 1991) was an American track and field athlete.

In 1933, he earned a football scholarship to the University of Georgia (UGA) after a sports journalist had seen him high jumping in his backyard.

[1] After college, Towns became head track and field coach at his alma mater, Georgia, a position he held until 1975.
