Louis Weitzenkorn (May 28, 1893 – February 7, 1943) was an American writer and newspaper editor.
In 1929 he took over as editor of the New York Evening Graphic, a popular but scandalous tabloid that was called the "porno-Graphic" by its critics.
In 1929, his play First Mortgage had a brief run on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre, but closed after just four performances.
His last screenplay was King of the Newsboys, co-written with Peggy Thompson in 1938, after which he became a reporter for the New York Post.
