Lyman W. Young (October 20, 1893 – February 12, 1984) was an American cartoonist who created the strip Tim Tyler's Luck.

After Young studied at the Chicago Art Institute and served in World War I, he worked as a salesman.

[1] Young launched Tim Tyler's Luck in 1928, and in 1935, he added a topper strip Curley Harper [fr].

The illustrators included Alex Raymond, Burne Hogarth, Clark Haas, Nat Edson and Tom Massey.

During the 1950s, when his son Bob took over the daily strip, Young retired to Florida, where he lived near his brother, and then relocated to California.
