Edwin Hewitt (January 20, 1920,Everett, Washington – June 21, 1999) was an Americanmathematician known for his work in abstractharmonic analysis and for his discovery, in collaboration withLeonard Jimmie Savage, of theHewitt–Savage zero–one law.

He received his Ph.D. in 1942 fromHarvard University, and served on the faculty of mathematics at theUniversity of Washington from 1954.

Hewitt pioneered the construction of thehyperreals by means of anultrapower construction (Hewitt, 1948).

Hewitt wrote the 1975 English translation ofA. A. Kirillov's 1972 RussianmonographElements of the Theory of Representations (Элементы Теории Представлений), and co-authoredAbstract Harmonic Analysis withKenneth A. Ross (1st edn., 1st vol. in 1963; 1st edn., 2nd vol. in 1970), an extensive work in two volumes.
