Rupert James Graham Lowe (born 31 October 1957) is a British politician serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Great Yarmouth since 2024. Initially elected as a candidate for Reform UK, he currently sits as an independent following the suspension of the party whip in March 2025. He was a member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the West Midlands from 2019 to 2020.

Prior to entering politics, Lowe worked in business and was chairman of Southampton Football Club. He led the club from 1996 to 2006. Returning in 2008, his second tenure ended in 2009 when the club entered administration.

At the 2019 European Parliament election, Lowe was elected as MEP for the West Midlands, representing the Brexit Party, which later became Reform UK. He held this role until the UK's withdrawal from the European Union (EU) in 2020. Lowe entered Parliament at the 2024 general election as MP for Great Yarmouth and was appointed Reform UK's Business and Agriculture Spokesman. In March 2025, his Reform UK whip was suspended due to legal accusations.
