Lewis Roberts-Thomson (born 8 September 1983) is a Sydney-born Australian Football League player with the Sydney Swans, originally drafted from the North Shore side. He is colloquially known to fans and commentators as either "LRT" or "Hyphen" or "Hyphenator".

Having spent much of his pre-2005 career languishing as a talented, roaming key-position player, his performance in 2005, including his grand final performance with the Sydney Swans win against the West Coast Eagles by less than a goal, has secured the 1.96m defender's position in the clubs player list. Roberts-Thomson's performance in that grand final, has been argued to be good enough to have secured him the coveted Norm Smith medal.

Roberts-Thomson is a rarity in AFL as he grew up playing rugby union as a contemporary of Wallaby Phil Waugh at Sydney Church of England Grammar School. He had played less than 40 Aussie rules matches when he was drafted in 2001, although he had already been named in the 2001 under-18 All-Australian team. Not long after being listed with the Sydney Swans he was nominated for AFL Rising Star.
