Thrower's is the possessive form of thrower, indicating something belonging to or associated with a person who throws.

It appears most commonly in medical contexts, particularly in thrower's elbow, an overuse injury affecting athletes who make repetitive throwing motions, such as baseball pitchers or javelin competitors.

The term can also describe equipment, technique, or stance: the thrower's grip on the discus.
