Lewis William "Sport" McAllister, (July 23, 1874 - July 17, 1962), was a Major League Baseball player for seven seasons with the Cleveland Spiders (1896–1899), Detroit Tigers (1901–1903), and Baltimore Orioles (1902). Born in Austin, Mississippi, McAllister was a versatile swith-hitter who played every position during his major league career. He played 147 games in the outfield, 83 at catcher, 65 at first base, 62 at shortstop, 27 at third base, and 7 at second base. He also pitched in 17 games, including 10 complete games.

In seven major league seasons, McAllister had a .247 batting average, with 358 hits, 61 extra base hits, 32 stolen bases, and 164 RBIs. His best season was 1901, the inaugural season of the new American League. He played 90 games for the Detroit Tigers and batted .301. McAllister and Kid Elberfeld became the first .300 hitters for the Tigers in their first major league season. McAllister died in Wyandotte, Michigan, a southern suburb of Detroit in 1962 at age 87.

McAllister also was the umpire in a July 15, 1900 game between Cleveland and Detroit. After hostilities with the umpire the previous day, Tigers manager Tommy Burns feared that the crowd would injure umpire Joe Cantillon. Burns forfeited the game, but Cleveland manager Jim McAleer agreed to play using reserve player McAllister as the umpire. Detroit won 6-1.
