Emanuel Lehman (born Mendel Lehmann; February 15, 1827 – January 10, 1907) was a German born, American banker. The younger brother of Henry Lehman, he was a co-founder of Lehman Brothers.
When the newly formed Mutual Alliance Trust Company opened for business in New York on the Tuesday after June 29, 1902, there were 13 directors, including Lehman, William Rockefeller, and Cornelius Vanderbilt.
In 1897, he donated $100,000 (equivalent to $2.9 million in 2016) to the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New York, under the condition "to enlarge and perpetuate its usefulness." In May 1859, he married Pauline Sondheim, daughter of Louis Sondheim of New York. Pauline died in 1871. They had four children: Milton Lehman; Philip Lehman, a partner in the firm; Harriet Philip Lehman, and Eveline Philip Lehman.
