Lawn bowls at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games

Lawn bowls at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games was the eighth appearance of the Lawn bowls at the Commonwealth Games. Competition at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games took place in Edinburgh, Scotland, from 16–25 July 1970. Lawn bowls returned to the Commonwealth Games following the exclusion of the event in the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games because Jamaica had insufficient bowling greens.

The events were held at the Balgreen Bowling Club with temporary seating being added during the nine days of competition.

England topped the medal table by winning two gold medals.
