Robert Lewin was an American screenwriter and producer, born in 1920. He received an Academy Award nomination for the screenplay of the 1956 war film The Bold and the Brave and later worked on television series such as The Paper Chase.
He joined The Next Generation as a co-producer and writer for its first season in 1987. He shares the writing credits on Datalore, which introduced Data's brother Lore; on 11001001, in which the Bynars steal the Enterprise-D; on Symbiosis, a story about addiction and the Prime Directive; and on the story of The Arsenal of Freedom.
