Enrique Ricardo Lewandowski (; born 11 May 1948) is a Brazilian judge and retired justice of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil. He is the son of a Polish father and Swiss mother, who immigrated to Brazil after the Second World War.

Lewandowski was replaced by Cármen Lúcia who was championed by Celso de Mello, Brazil's most senior jurist. Lewandowski was known for championing a reduction in oversight of judges and an increase in their remuneration. Lucia's champion gave a speech talking about the need to remove corruption despite the presence of a number of alleged suspects.

On 10 January 2024, Lewandowski accepted president Lula da Silva's invitation to replace outgoing minister Flávio Dino in the Ministry of Justice and Public Security. Provided by Wikipedia
