Lynn Schusterman (née Rothschild; born January 21, 1939) is an American billionaire philanthropist. She is the co-founder and chair emerita of Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, and founder of several other philanthropic initiatives.

Born in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in Oklahoma City in a Jewish family, Lynn married Charles Schusterman in 1962. The couple founded Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation in 1987 to invest in systemic change in the United States and Israel. After Charles' death in 2000, Lynn ran the foundation until 2018, when her daughter Stacy H. Schusterman took over as chair. Since 2018 she has been chair emerita of the foundation.

Through the Schusterman Family Philanthropies, the family has given away more than $3.5 billion. For their philanthropic activities, Lynn and Stacy received the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy in 2022.
