George J. Lewis (December 10, 1903 – December 8, 1995) was a Mexican-born actor who appeared in many films from the 1920s through the 1960s and also in TV series when that new medium began, usually specializing in westerns. He is probably best known for playing Don Alejandro de la Vega, who was Don Diego de la Vega's father in the 1950s Disney television series Zorro. Lewis co-starred in Zorro's Black Whip and had a minor role in Ghost of Zorro before starring as Don Alejandro in the Disney series.
