Peta-Gaye Dowdie (born 18 January 1977) is a Jamaican sprinter. As a member of the Jamaican sprint relay team she won a bronze medal at the 1999 World Championships and gold medals at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and 2007 Pan American Games.

Dowdie ran for St. Jago High School and then ran track collegiately at Louisiana State University.[1] She was controversially replaced by Merlene Ottey on the Jamaican 2000 Olympic 100 metres team, despite Dowdie beating Ottey at the Jamaican trials.[2]
