Sydney Domville Rowland (29 March 1872 – 6 March 1917) was an English physician and the world's first editor of a radiology journal. He coined the term "skiagraphy" and wrote some of the first works on X-rays in the Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy that preceded the British Journal of Radiology.

Rowland worked in India and helped confirm how plague is spread by rats carrying fleas, and later joined the Royal Army Medical Corps in the First World War as a bacteriologist in France, where he worked on septic wounds, typhoid carriers and gas gangrene, and set up No. 1 Mobile Laboratory, the first of its kind. He died at the age of 44 years after contracting meningitis during his work.
