Timothy John Bothwell (born May 6, 1955) is a Canadian ice hockey coach and former professional ice hockey defenceman who played 502 games in the National Hockey League.

Tim was inducted into the Brown University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984. He retired from playing hockey in 1990. [1]
Bothwell's first foray into coaching was as a player-coach with the New Haven Nighthawks of the AHL in the 1989–90 season, his final as a player. Following his retirement from play, he accepted the head coaching position with the Medicine Hat Tigers in the Western Hockey League (WHL) and lead the team during the 1990–91 and 1991–92 seasons. Ahead of the 1992–93 season, he became head coach of the Phoenix Roadrunners in the International Hockey League(IHL) and remained with the team through the 1993–94 season, before moving on to the Calgary Dinos men's ice hockey team of the University of Calgary. Bothwell spent seven seasons as head coach in Calgary, 1994 to 2001, the longest period with any team of his coaching career. During his time with Calgary, he was an assistant coach to the Canadian men's ice hockey team that participated in the ice hockey tournament at the 1997 Winter Universiade. In the same year, he was honored with the Father George Kehoe Memorial Award as Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CIAU) Coach of the Year. He ultimately left Calgary to take on the role of assistant coach with the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers, which he held for two seasons, 2001–02 and 2002–03.
In 2003, he assumed an associate coach position with the Calgary Oval X-Treme of the National Women's Hockey League, his first role in women's ice hockey.
