Kane Lewis (born 17 March 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender.

Lewis is a product of the Brentford and Liverpool academies and began his senior career in Wales with The New Saints and Cefn Druids. He moved into non-League football in 2022.

Liverpool
A centre back or right back, Lewis began his career in the academy at Brentford, but failed to win a scholarship deal and entered the academy at Premier League club Liverpool during the 2014 off-season. He was a regular in the U18 team and progressed to sign a one-year professional contract on 29 June 2016, but he failed to break into the U23 team and was released at the end of the 2016–17 season.

The New Saints
After a non-playing spell with Whitehawk and a brief return to Brentford during the 2017–18 season, Lewis signed a contract with Welsh Premier League champions The New Saints on 30 May 2018. He made 23 appearances and scored one goal during the 2018–19 Welsh Premier League and Welsh Cup double-winning season. Lewis was retained for 2019–20, but made just eight appearances before the COVID-19 pandemic caused the season to end prematurely. He was released in July 2020 and made 32 appearances, scoring one goal, during two seasons at Park Hall.

Cefn Druids and non-League football
In September 2021, Lewis returned to football with Cymru Premier club Cefn Druids. He made just two appearances and after nearly another year out of the game, he joined Southern League Premier Division Central club St Ives Town in August 2022. He made 13 appearances before joining National League South club Hemel Hempstead Town on dual-registration terms in January 2023. He made just five appearances during the remainder of the 2022–23 season.
