Lowry is a town in Walworth County, South Dakota, United States. The population was 10 at the 2020 census. The town is home to Lowry Pilgrim Community Church, Swan Creek Harness Shop, J & C Repair, Karst Service (closed in August 2015) and a fire station. Lowry also has an abandoned school, and a post office, which closed to service in the early 1970s.

With the Missouri River and Swan Lake just a few miles away, and prime habitat for all sorts of wild game, Lowry is a destination for many hunters and fishermen year-round. Mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, pheasants, grouse, ducks, and geese are commonly hunted in the area.

Lowry was founded in 1907 as a station stop on a branch line of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway built that year between Conde and LeBeau, South Dakota. The town was named in honor of a railroad employee. Railway service to Lowry ended in 1940.
