Albert Edward Lewis (20 January 1877 – 22 February 1956), known as Talbot Lewis, was an English first-class cricketer who played for Somerset between 1899 and 1912.{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/3/3682/3682.html | title = Talbot Lewis | publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | accessdate = 2010-10-09}} He reappeared for Somerset in one match after the start of the First World War in August 1914, although he played under an assumed name, A. Key.{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/9/9423.html | title = Scorecard: Somerset v Worcestershire | date = 1914-08-13 | publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | accessdate = 2010-10-09}}

An allrounder, Lewis was a middle to lower order batsman and right-arm fast-medium pace bowler.

He scored 9 first-class hundreds, his highest was an unbeaten 201 against Kent in 1909 after he'd made a duck in his first innings. Somerset followed on and Lewis's innings earned them a draw. With the ball he took over 500 wickets for Somerset and took his best innings bowling figures of 8 for 103 against Warwickshire in 1908, finishing the match with 14 wickets.
