Joe Crowther (born 1913) was an English motorcycle speedway rider who had his greatest success in the period immediately after World War II. Crowther was born in Stanley, County Durham and after early ambitions of becoming a jockey, initially pursued a career as a footballer with Crook Town. His jobs before taking up speedway included a comedian in a travelling opera company and working for his father's butchery business. After first seeing speedway at Middlesbrough in 1937, where he was inspired by Frank Hodgson, he rode in grasstrack and junior speedway events at Newcastle, going on to ride for West Ham, Newcastle and Glasgow before the outbreak of war in 1939.
