Robert Lekachman (1920 – 14 January 1989) was an economist known for his extensive advocacy of state intervention, and for a debating style characterized by slow, signsong speech and circumlocution.

Lekachman was also noted for an interpretation of Keynes's General Theory that made central its rejection of Say's Law (in favor of Walras' law).
