Lois Wilkerson is a fictional character from Malcolm in the Middle. She is played by Jane Kaczmarek.

Lois is Malcolm's ever tempestuous, tough mother and is a very manipulative control freak. She works as a clerk at Lucky Aide, a local drugstore (Lucky Aide's slogan: "The 'L' Stands for Value"). She has many unconventional ways of disciplining her children, such as having them stand on their heads next to a wall or making them do dizzy izzies (making them spin in circles with their foreheads on baseball bats). She also has an unhealthy obsession with winning every conceivable argument that may or may not arise. Her mother is still alive, much to the family's dismay. Lois also has a sister called Susan (played in an episode by Laurie Metcalf) with whom she is on uneven ground (Hal was her sister's boyfriend, but he and Lois had sex on top of her car, on her prom night). The sister is now a middle-aged single lady with counseling, who had kidney failure and was going to leave Malcolm and Reese her car in her will, though Lois donated one of her kidneys and had it transplanted into her sister. Her co-worker, the domineering but socially inept Craig Feldspar, has romantic feelings for her, which he makes known in several episodes. Lois is thought to be of Polish or Eastern European descent. This is implied by her love of Polish baseball players and her mother's culture. Lois and Hal continue to be sexually attracted to one another; according to Hal in the season three episode Poker II he and Lois have sex twice a day. In the final episode, it is revealed that Lois has once again gotten pregnant.
