Donald Robertson Gow (8 February 1868 – 1945) was a Scottish footballer who played for Rangers, Sunderland and the Scotland national team as a full back.

Previously playing for Rangers where he claimed a Scottish Football League winner's medal from his first spell at Rangers in the competition's first edition of 1890–91,^[3][4] Gow made his debut for Sunderland against Bolton Wanderers on 19 September 1891 in a 4–3 defeat at Pike's Lane.^[5] He won the English Football League Championship in 1892 and 1895.^[6] He played for Sunderland on two separate occasions, between 1891 and 1892 then 1893 and 1897 with a year back at Rangers in the interim, in total making 98 league appearances scoring one goal at his time at the club.^[7]

While a Rangers player, Gow made his debut and only appearance for Scotland against England on 17 March 1888 in a 5–0 defeat at Hampden Park. Gow captained the Scottish side in this game.^[8][9] It is likely he would have gained more caps while with Sunderland had the Scottish Football Association not operated a policy of selecting only home-based players until 1896 (a situation which also affected Sunderland teammate Ned Doig among many others). After this was relaxed, Gow played in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial match of 1897^[10] but unlike Doig, did not make the full Scotland team again.^[4]

His brother John was also a Scottish international.^[11]
