Trevor Crowe (born November 17, 1983 in Portland, Oregon) is a minor league baseball player who is currently a top prospect in the Cleveland Indians organization. He was born on the same day as major league stars Ryan Braun and Nick Markakis.

Crowe, nicknamed "the Hearty Crowe," was drafted by Cleveland 14th overall in the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft out of the University of Arizona. He was originally drafted out of Westview High School but not signed by the Oakland Athletics in the 20th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft. Crowe was named to the by|2006 Carolina League All-Star game, but was unable to participate due to injury. Another Oregonian and Crowe's 2005 Pac-10 Co-Player of the Year, Jacoby Ellsbury was named his replacement. He started the by|2007 season as the Akron Aeros' starting center fielder. After an unsuccessful experiment at second base beginning in late August of 2006, Crowe was moved permanently back to the outfield, rotating between all 3 outfield positions.

An all-around athlete, Crowe was a competitive racquetball player in his teenage years and was one of the top players in the nation.
