Bow Valley er en dal ved øvre del av Bow River i Alberta, Canada.

Navnet "Bow" henviser til vekster som lokale First Nations brukte til å lage buer av. Navnet på elven i det lokale språket var «Makhabn», som betyr «elva hvor treet vi lager buer av vokser».[1]

Mange andre rekreasjonsområder er spredt utover dalen, blant andre Three Sisters, Gap Lake, Grotto Mountain, Lac des Arcs, Heart Ridge, Heart Mountain, Ghost Reservoir.
