Lambert Joseph Emmanuel Servais (French pronunciation: [lɑ̃bɛʁ ʒozɛf emanɥɛl sɛʁvɛ]; 11 April 1811 – 17 June 1890) was a Luxembourgish politician. He held numerous offices of national importance, foremost amongst which was in serving as the fifth prime minister of Luxembourg, for seven years, from 3 December 1867 until 26 December 1874.

After being Prime Minister, he was a long-serving Mayor of Luxembourg City, holding office from soon after his departure from the premiership, in 1875, until his death, in 1890. Servais was also successively President of the Council of State (1874–1887) and President of the Chamber of Deputies (1887–1890). No other person has held even three of these four positions.
