Meyer Lansky, nascido como Meier Suchowlański (Grodno, 4 de julho de 1902 - Miami, 15 de janeiro de 1983), foi um gangster russo-americano aderente à Máfia. Nativo do Império Russo (seus pais eram ), ele mudou-se para Nova York em 1911. Seu primeiro encontro com um dos mais importantes expoentes da máfia de Nova Iorque, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, se deu na escola. Luciano, que extorquia dinheiro dos outros alunos oferecendo proteção, tentou fazer o mesmo com Lansky, mas Lansky recusou-se a pagar. Luciano ficou impressionado com sua reação corajosa e desde então se tornaram amigos. Lansky foi fundamental na escalada de Luciano ao topo do mundo do crime, salvando sua vida por diversas vezes. Uma delas, foi quando o alertou que Salvatore Maranzano conspirava para assassiná-lo. Luciano pôde agir com antecedência, e eliminar os rivais.
