Bowring Brothers Ltd. (or simply Bowring) was a Newfoundland-based operator of retail stores, that, after Newfoundland became part of Canada, expanded its operation and narrowed its focus to gifts and home decor throughout Canada.

Bowring was engaged in Newfoundland's commerce for over 200 years, with various operations across the globe at its peak.[1]
