  • Gordon Stewart Cowan (May 19, 1911 – June 11, 1988) was a Canadian politician and judge. He represented the electoral district of Halifax Centre in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1956 to 1960. He was a member of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party. Born in 1911 at St. John's, Newfoundland, Cowan was educated at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Dalhousie University, Exeter College, Oxford, and was a Rhodes Scholar, Newfoundland. He married Jean E. Rettie in 1937, and then Jean C. (MacDaniel) Mann in 1973. Cowan was employed as an assistant professor at Dalhousie Law School from 1936–1939, and Manitoba Law School from 1939–1941, before practicing law in Halifax from 1941–1966.
