Lewis James Gough (1 September 1903 – 26 December 1934) was an Australian Rules footballer who played with Hawthorn and Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Cleared from Box Hill to Hawthorn in June 1925, Gough played the last eight games of the season. He then spent the next four years in the Victorian Football Association with Camberwell before joining Melbourne in 1930. He played a solitary match in his first season with Melbourne and then played four more games in 1931 when regular full back Bill Tymms took leave to go on his honeymoon.
He was injured in his first match back at Hawthorn in 1932 but made three more appearances before he was cleared to Prahran midway through the season. He coached Prahran in 1933 but became ill later in the season and died at the age of 31 late the next year.
