Lynley Herbert Weston (1 September 1892 – 2 November 1963) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A five five-eighth, Weston represented Auckland and North Auckland at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1914 tour of Australia. However, hampered by injury, he only played in one match on that tour, against Queensland.
During World War I, Weston served with the New Zealand Field Engineers in Egypt between 1915 and 1916, rising to the rank of corporal. He was invalided back to New Zealand in 1916 and discharged as medically unfit for service.
Weston died in Whangarei on 2 November 1963, and he was buried in Maunu Cemetery.
