Alphonse (Fons) Leweck (born 16 December 1981) is a Luxembourgian footballer. He plays as a midfielder for FC Etzella Ettelbruck in Luxembourg's domestic National Division, and also for the Luxembourg national team.
Leweck was close to retiring from football after being diagnosed with a serious fault with a heart valve. He has returned to the game, although his condition cost him the chance to go on a trial with German Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.
On the 13th October 2007, Fons scored, in his first game for the national team after a very long injury break, the 1-0 at the 94th minute in the EURO 2008 qualifying game against Belarus. This 1-0 result was the first victory for the Luxembourg national football team in a European Football Championship qualification since 1995.
He is the elder brother of Charles Leweck, who also plays in midfield for Ettelbruck and Luxembourg.
