William Lindsay Lewis (29 March 1931 – 12 November 2015) was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as a centre half for Morton (making over 100 appearances in all competitions) and Third Lanark (achieving a promotion to the top tier in 1956–57, playing on the losing side in the 1959 Scottish League Cup Final, helping the club to a third-place finish in the 1960–61 Scottish Division One campaign, and winning the Glasgow Cup in the 1962–63 season).

He began his career – playing in a more attacking position – in junior football with Irvine Meadow, a club his son Rab also played for in the 1970s with some success.
