Lord Lewis Gordon (22 December 1724 – 15 June 1754) was a Scottish nobleman, naval officer and Jacobite, remembered largely for participating in the Jacobite rising of 1745, during which Charles Edward Stuart appointed him Lord-lieutenant of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire. During the rising Gordon and his agents raised a large number of men, often through impressment, from the estates of his brother the Duke of Gordon: the north-eastern counties ultimately provided up to 24% of the Jacobite army's rank and file. After the failure of the campaign he escaped to France, dying at Montreuil in 1754.
