Alun Lewis, born Alun Lewis Bennett, (1949), is a British actor best known for playing Darryl Stubbs in Birds of a Feather and Vic Windsor in Emmerdale.

His first acting experience came in early 1968, when he appeared in Zigger Zagger with the National Youth Theatre. After training at RADA, he appeared in the film Le Pétomane in 1979.

In 1989, he was cast as Darryl Stubbs, Tracey's bank robbing husband on Birds of a Feather. He stayed with the show for the first six series, however when he was unable to return to BOAF for Series 7 due to his commitments on Emmerdale. The role of Darryl was recast with Douglas McFerran, who proved unpopular with fans, leading to Darryl becoming The Ghost from Series 8 onwards.
