Malcolm Lockheed (né Malcolm Loughead; 1887 – August 12, 1958) was an American aviation engineer and inventor. He invented the hydraulic brake and, with his brother Allan Lockheed, produced the Model G, the first successful tractor seaplane. In 1926 the brothers also founded the Lockheed Aircraft Company, which went on in 1995 to become Lockheed Martin.
