David Chester Lewis (September 8, 1884 – April 5, 1975) was a Jewish-American lawyer, politician, and judge from New York.
He was also a volunteer instructor for the Civil Service School of the Marcy Association, which gave free instruction to all men in the district to prepare for civil service examination, and an editorial writer for the Manhattan and Bronx Advocate, which was edited by the blind poet Edward Doyle.
He wasn't renominated by the Democratic Party in 1937, and while he ran independently with support from a number of civic groups he lost the election.
He briefly served on the Domestic Relations bench after being appointed to that court by Mayor Fiorello La Guardia.
