Bowdon Hockey Club is a field hockey club based in Bowdon, Greater Manchester, England. The hockey club was established in 1886 but the Bowdon Club which hosts the team was formed in 1856.[1] The women's team have been champions of England on one occasion (2008–09).[2]

The men's 1st XI play in the Men's England Hockey League and the ladies 1st XI (known as Bowdon Hightown Ladies 1st XI ) play in the Investec Women's Hockey League.[3][4] The club fields ten men's teams, seven ladies teams and various youth sides. The women's team is known as Bowdon Hightown due to the 2004 merger of the Hightown Hockey Club ladies section and Bowdon Hockey Club.
