Herbert "Herb" Howson (11 August 1872 – 8 May 1948) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

A wingman, Howson played with South Melbourne for six seasons in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) before joined their inaugural VFL side in 1897. He participated in their losing 1899 Grand Final team.

In 1903 he appeared in a first-class cricket match for Victoria, against Tasmania. He scored 40 in his first innings and took a couple of wickets.^[1]

Howson was appointed coach of South Melbourne, in a non-playing capacity, in 1908 and led them to the premiership with the help of Henry Elms who shared the coaching duties with him. That season the club were premiers and the following season finished third.
