Bow Valley is a valley located along the upper Bow River in Alberta, Canada.

The name "Bow" refers to the reeds that grew along its banks and which were used by the local First Nations people to make bows; the Blackfoot language name for the river is {{transl|bla|Makhabn}}, meaning "river where bow weeds grow".[1]
