Luwellyn Tyrone Landers (28 December 1947 – November 2023) was a South African politician who was the Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation between May 2014 and May 2019. He represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly of South Africa from May 1994 to May 2019.

Born in Natal Province, Landers represented the Labour Party in the apartheid-era Tricameral Parliament. He also served as a deputy minister in the government of President P. W. Botha. In September 1993, he defected to the ANC, and he was elected to an ANC seat in the post-apartheid Parliament in 1994.

Before he joined the national executive in 2014, Landers was the second chairperson of the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests between 2002 and 2010 and the fourth chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development between 2010 and 2014.
