Wesley Lowery (born 1990) is an American journalist who has worked at American University, CBS News, and The Washington Post. He was a lead on the Post's "Fatal Force" project that won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 2016.
In 2017, he became a CNN political contributor and in 2020 was announced as a correspondent for 60 in 6, a short-form spinoff of 60 Minutes for Quibi. Lowery is a former fellow at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service.
In March 2025, Lowery resigned from his job at American University amid allegations that he had made inappropriate sexual comments and unwanted sexual advances toward students and journalists.
In May 2025, the Columbia Journalism Review published an exposé of allegations of sexual misconduct against Lowery, saying he exhibited a "pattern of predatory behavior toward young women in journalism" spanning from 2018 to 2024.
