Timothy David "Tim" Flowers (born 3 February 1967 in Kenilworth, England) is an English former football goalkeeper and assistant manager of Queens Park Rangers.

He began his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1984 before playing for Southampton, Swindon Town, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City, Stockport County, and Coventry City (the team he supported as a youngster). He made over 520 league appearances.

He was transferred from Southampton to Blackburn in 1993 for a fee of £2.4 million, making him the most expensive goalkeeper in England at the time. He went on to win a Premiership winner's medal with Blackburn Rovers in 1995. At Leicester City, Flowers won a League Cup winner's medal following a 2-1 victory over Tranmere Rovers in the 2000 League Cup, his first ever game at Wembley Stadium.

Flowers also won 11 caps with England between 1993 and 1998. He was in the squads for both Euro 96 in England and the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. He retired following the 2002-03 season.

Following a spell as goalkeeper coach for Manchester City, on 19 February 2007 he was appointed as assistant manager to Iain Dowie at Coventry City. Flowers left Coventry on 11 February 2008 after Dowie was sacked, before joining him again at QPR.
