A cowling is the covering of a vehicle's engine, most often found on automobiles and aircraft.

A cowling may be used:

  • for drag reduction
  • for engine cooling by directing airflow
  • as an air intake for jet engines
  • for decorative purposes

Examples in aviation include the NACA cowling and Townend ring.
