Willy Lehnert (9 March 1916 – 10 July 1975) was a German Luftwaffe bomber radio operator and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross () during World War II.

Lehnert was a member of the Hermann Hogeback bomber crew. Hogeback's crew earned the distinction of being the only crew to have all members awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross by the end of the war, and Lehnert was the second, aside from Hogenback himself, of the three crew members to be awarded after Oberfeldwebel Günter Glasner on 31 December 1943.
