Alan Lewandowski (April 8, 1914 – November 29, 1976), better known by his stage name Alan Lockwood, was an American actor and singer who appeared in vaudeville, on Broadway, and in radio, television and movies. Known for his unique tap dancing style, debonair demeanor and "dashing good looks," Lockwood is considered one of classic Hollywood's definitive leading men. He was also noted for his work with the US Armed Forces and his numerous USO shows entertaining American military personnel after the death of his brother, Larry, in Pearl Harbor.

Lockwood was named the fifteenth Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute. Noted particularly for his work in romantic musicals but also for swashbuckling period pieces, Lockwood's best-known films include The Three Musketeers (1937), The Dancing District Attorney (1938), Anything Goes (1940), and The Dame Who Stole the Moon (1943),. After World War II, Lockwood made several films that were deemed "lackluster" by critics before retiring in 1950.

Nominated five times for the Academy Award for Best Actor, Lockwood took home the award for his roles in Serenade for Susie (1941) and Colored Folks are People, Too (1944). Lockwood also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor five times, and in 1970 was given an Honorary Oscar at the 42nd Academy Awards. Frank Sinatra presented Lockwood with the award, "for his unique mastery of the art of screen acting".
