Michael Monroe Lewis (born October 15, 1960) is an American financial journalist and bestselling non-fiction author. He has also been a contributing editor to Vanity Fair since 2009.

As of May 2019, Lewis has published 18 books, three of which—Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game (2003), The Blind Side (2006) and The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine (2010)—have been adapted into feature films.

Lewis was born in New Orleans, the son of corporate lawyer J. Thomas Lewis and community activist Diana Monroe Lewis. He went to Isidore Newman School. He attended Princeton University, where he earned a cum laude bachelor's degree in art history in 1982 and was a member of the Ivy Club. He worked with New York City art dealer Daniel Wildenstein for a short while. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Lewis shared that his initial ambition was to become an art historian, but he was quickly dissuaded once he realized that there were no jobs available for art historians, and even the handful would not pay much.
