Miles Marshall Lewis (born December 18, 1970) is an American pop culture critic, essayist, literary editor, fiction writer, and music journalist.

Lewis was born in The Bronx, New York, at the beginning of hip hop culture in the early 1970s.

[1] His debut essay collection, Scars of the Soul Are Why Kids Wear Bandages When They Don't Have Bruises (2004) – a book described as "an observant and urbane B-boy's rites of passage" – established Lewis as a prose stylist observing American culture in a style directly influenced by Joan Didion, mixing personal reflection with social analysis and humor.

Lewis's second book, There's a Riot Goin' On (2006), deals with the making of the seminal 1971 album of the same name by Sly and the Family Stone, and the death of the 1960s counterculture.

Lewis was also the founder and editor of the defunct literary journal Bronx Biannual.
