Al Lewis (* 30. April 1923 in New York City; † 3. Februar 2006 ebenda), eigentlich Albert Meister, war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler. Auf den Rat eines Freundes hin begann Lewis 1949 mit der Schauspielerei. Er nahm Unterricht bei Paul Mann Actor's Workshop in New York und arbeitete beim Kabarett quer durch die USA. In den 1950er Jahren begann er beim boomenden Fernsehen. Zunächst spielte er in Live-Übertragungen aus New York und in Gastrollen bei Fernsehserien. 1961 bis 1963 wurde er in der Sitcom Wagen 54, bitte melden als Officer Leo Schnauser berühmt. Sein Partner war Fred Gwynne als Officer Maldoon. Seine bekannteste Rolle wurde die des Grandpa in The Munsters. Die 70-teilige Serie wurde von 1964 bis 1966 produziert. Auch hier spielte Fred Gwynne an seiner Seite. Nachdem die Serie ausgelaufen war, eröffnete er in Greenwich Village ein Restaurant mit dem Namen Grampa's Bella Gente. Bis zuletzt moderierte er eine Sendung bei einem New Yorker Radiosender.
