Lewis Machin was an English poet and playwright active around 1607–09. He may have collaborated with Gervase Markham on The Dumb Knight, possibly revising Markham’s original around 1608–09. In 1607, a poem by L.M. was added to William Barksted’s Mirrha the Mother of Adonis, and Machin contributed a short commendatory verse. He also helped Barksted revise and complete John Marston’s The Insatiate Countess for the Children of the King’s Revels at the Whitefriars Theatre. Some scholars have suggested he wrote another of the company’s plays, Every Woman In Her Humour (1609).
