Warren Kendall Lewis (August 1882–March 1975) was a major leader in the development of chemical engineering. He has often been referred to as the father of modern chemical engineering for his role in coordination of chemistry], [[physics and engineering into an independent discipline serving the chemical industry.

Born on a farm in Delaware, Lewis transferred to Newton, Massachusetts during his high school days. He subsequently entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1901 and enrolled in the chemical engineering option of MIT's chemistry department.
