Mow is a Chinese surname shared by several notable people.

  • Pang Tzu Mow, 毛邦初, (1904–1987), Chinese, Lt. General of the Republic of China Air Force
  • William Mow, 毛昭寰, (b. 1936), Chinese—American, entrepreneur and founder of the clothing company Bugle Boy, son of Lt. General Mow
  • Van C. Mow, 毛昭憲, (b. 1939), Chinese—American, biomechanics pioneer, son of Lt. General Mow

    • In these cases, the origin is through the Chinese hanzi 毛, where the use as a surname derives from the feudal title translated as "Earl Mao", establishing a relationship between the surnames "Mao" and "Mow" as having the same origin.

    Another origin is through the traditional Chinese hanzi 憲, which has several meanings as both a verb and a noun.

    The origins of the surnames for the following people are unclear.

  • Samson Mow (b. 2002), Chinese—Canadian video game developer and entrepreneur
