Lionel D. Deane (1861 - 1938) was an architect in the United States and later part of Brooklyn, New York's art scene. He was born in Nova Scotia, Canada. He is known for his architectural work in northern California and the Pacific Northwest. His career took a hit when he was caught up in a crackdown against Portland's Gay community in 1912 (Portland vice scandal).

His early work includes a Dominican monastery. He moved to Portland, Oregon in 1889 and was a draftsman for Justus Krumbein until 1892. In 1893 he started his own practice. He partnered with James Kollofrath in San Francisco from 1899 to 1903. In 1906 he was part of rebuilding efforts in San Francisco after the devastating earthquake and fires.
Deane returned to Portland in 1911 to work on the Washington Hotel at 1135 S.W. Washington, now the Washington Apartments.
