Sir Neil Elliott Lewis KCMG (27 October 1858 – 22 September 1935),[1] Australian politician, was Premier of Tasmania on three occasions.

[1] Educated at the Hobart High School, Lewis took the diploma of associate of arts with gold medal, and was awarded a Tasmanian scholarship.

During this time he represented conservative interests and policies in opposition to liberals such as Philip Fysh, Sir Edward Braddon and Andrew Inglis Clark.

He was also an ardent federalist, having accompanied his predecessor as Premier, Sir Edward Braddon, as part of the Tasmanian delegation to the 1897–1898 convention.

Lewis and Sir James Dickson are the only people to have held ministerial office in an Australian federal government without ever being a member of the Commonwealth Parliament.

[1] By the time of his death in 1935 he was the last Dominion or self-governing colonial head of government of the Victorian era alive.
