Maurice Lesemann (28 November 1899 – 2 October 1981) was a United States poet.
Lesemann was born in Chicago, the son of a Methodist clergyman.
He studied at the University of Chicago where he served as president of the Poetry Club, several of whose members — including Lesemann — were published in early numbers of the magazine Poetry.
Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts, he travelled to New Mexico to visit Yvor Winters and Glenway Wescott, and spent some time in teaching in the town of Cerrillos.
