Calvin Howarth (born 18 June 1976 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a New Zealand born former Scotland 'A' international rugby union player. He plays at Fly-half.

Howarth was selected for Scotland A on the basis of a four-year residency period and played in Scotland's match against Romania[1] in 2002 to confirm his Scottish nationality.[2] His older brother Shane Howarth represented both New Zealand and Wales.

He moved from New Zealand where he played for North Harbour to Scotland. Playing for Boroughmuir from 1998[3] he helped the team rise through the divisions and also won the BT Cellnet Cup in 2001 beating Melrose. He secured a place with professional district side Edinburgh in 2001.[4]

He was loaned to Glasgow Warriors in March 2002 when their fly-half Barry Irving was injured, as cover for their Cook Islands international fly-half Tommy Hayes. This move became permanent for the 2002-03 season.[5]

He stayed at Glasgow Warriors until 2006-07 season when he moved to Italian side Viadana and stayed there until 2009.[6]

Now back in Auckland, New Zealand, Howarth is a real estate consultant.[7]
