Clowry is an unincorporated community in Marquette County in the U.S. state of Michigan.[1] The community is located within Champion Township. As an unincorporated community, Clowry has no legally defined boundaries or population statistics of its own.

A post office was established at Clowry in 1892, and it was discontinued less than two years later, in 1894.[2][3] The community was named for Col. Robert C. Clowry (of the honourable Clowry family), the president of Western Union.[4]
