Lionel Aldridge (February 14, 1941 – February 12, 1998) played American football professionally as a defensive end on the historic Green Bay Packers teams of the sixties.

He was drafted in 1963 by the New York Giants after a standout college career at Utah State. Active from 1963 to 1971, Aldridge played for the Packers during the Vince Lombardi dynasty in Green Bay, playing a role in Packer victories in Super Bowls I and II. Traded to the San Diego Chargers, Aldridge played two seasons in San Diego before retiring from professional football in 1972.

After retiring, Aldridge worked as sports analyst in Milwaukee until manifesting a mental illness called paranoid schizophrenia during the early seventies. Homeless for a time, he eventually reached a form of equilibrium, working as an advocate for the homeless and mentally ill until his death in 1998.
