Lewis Humphrey Pounds (April 9, 1860 in Eaton, Lorain County, Ohio – December 16, 1947 in Brooklyn, New York) was an American businessman and politician.

About 1893 he moved to Brooklyn, New York where he became a real estate broker and developer.

On April 30, 1921, he was appointed one of the original six commissioners of the Port of New York Authority, and later became its president.

He was the last New York State Treasurer, elected in 1924 defeating the incumbent Democrat George K. Shuler.

In 1932, after the resignation of Jimmy Walker, Pounds ran for Mayor of New York City, but was defeated by Democrat John P. O'Brien.
