Lowick is a village in Northamptonshire, England. It appears in the Domesday Book as "Luhwik", and later as "Lofwyk" and in 1167 as "Luffewich". The name derives from Old English "Luhha's or Luffa's dwelling place", wic being cognate to "vicus" in Latin.

The George Eliot book Middlemarch was written, at least in part, in the village's old rectory, and is mentioned in the book itself.
