Alexander Lawton Mackall (May 23, 1888 in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – March 26, 1968 in West New Brighton, Staten Island, New York) was an author, journalist and gastronomy expert and critic.
He was the editor of several New York City magazines and the author of the renowned restaurant guide Knife and Fork in New York (1948), a precursor of the Zagat's Survey. He had a strong connection to the Portuguese culture, being made an official of the Ordem de Cristo, a Portuguese honorific order that distinguishes personalities in the field of culture. Through The Lawton Mackall Foundation, incorporated in New York, he instituted a monetary prize to be awarded to the best students of a selected set of high schools in Portugal.
