Lester Crest is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series and a main character in Grand Theft Auto V, as well as its multiplayer mode, Grand Theft Auto Online.

Lester is depicted as a socially awkward man who apparently has a lot of experience with technology and computing. He is overweight and disabled, due to a disease, having to often walk with a cane. Lester is an associate of Michael, Trevor and Franklin, and helps them in planning heists.

Lester is also politically conscious and socially aware, paying Franklin and Michael, to assassinate people who disagree with his views. In one instance, he asks Michael to assassinate the CEO of LiveInvader (a satirical spoof of Facebook) by placing explosives in it's newly released electronic device. One another occasion, he pays Franklin to assassinate four jurors who favor the Redwood cigarette company purported due to their policy toward public health, while investing stock into the competing cigarette company, Debonaire.
