Bernard Lefkowitz (1937/1938 – May 21, 2004) was an American author, sociologist, journalist and investigative reporter.

A reporter and assistant editor at the New York Post, Lefkowitz worked for the Peace Corps before becoming an author. He wrote many books, including The Victims, Break-time: Living Without Work in a Nine-to-Five World, and Tough Change: Growing Up on Your Own in America, and Our Guys: The Glen Ridge Rape and the Secret Life of the Perfect Suburb.

Our Guys dealt with the Glen Ridge Rape of a mentally disabled girl by a group of popular high school students and the town (Glen Ridge, New Jersey) that rallied around them. Lauded by The New York Times as a notable book of the year, as well as an Edgar Award finalist, Our Guys was made into a television movie starring Ally Sheedy and Eric Stoltz.

Lefkowitz taught journalism at City College, Duke University and Columbia University.

Lefkowitz died due to thymus gland cancer on May 21, 2004.
