Friedrich von Löwis of Menar (Russian: Фёдор Фёдорович Левиз, romanized: Fyodor Fyodorovich Leviz; 6 September [O.S. 26 August] 1767 – 16 April [O.S. 4 April] 1824) was a Russian lieutenant-general of Scottish origin, who served in the Imperial Russian Army during the Napoleonic Wars. His family (the family name commonly spelled in English as Lewis) came from South Scotland to Sweden around 1630. By the time of Friedrich's birth, it had become a well-established noble family settled in Livonia in the Russian Empire.
