Lewis Seymour Deane (12 March 1882 – 18 December 1934) was an Anglo-Indian tennis player.[1]

Born in Meerut, Deane was the second son of British Indian Army captain George Deane of the Bengal Lancers.[2]

Deane, a champion of Bengal and Punjab, played in India's first ever Davis Cup team in 1921, with the side going through to the semi-finals.[3] He twice reached the Wimbledon men's doubles semi-finals (with Sydney Jacob in 1921 & Hassan Ali Fyzee in 1923) and was a mixed doubles finalist at the 1923 Wimbledon Championships.[4]
