Lewis A. Swift

Lewis A. Swift (29. veljače 1820.5. siječnja 1913.[1]) bio je američki astronom. Otkrio je brojne objekte iz Novog općeg kataloga. Otkrio je mnoštvo maglica, od kojih je najpoznatija IC 289. Osobito je poznat po tome što je otkrio i suotkrio brojne komete, od kojih su najpoznatiji 11P/Tempel–Swift–LINEAR i 109P/Swift–Tuttle.

Godine 1878. bio je u znanstvenoj zabludi jer je vjerovao da je promatranjem uspio uočiti dva planeta kao što je Vulkan u orbiti između Merkura i Sunca.

Njemu u čast se zove asteroid 5035 Swift i mjesečev krater Swift.

Otac je američkog astronoma Edwarda D. Swifta.
