"Deus Ex Machina" is the 19th episode of the first season of the American drama television series Lost. The episode was directed by Robert Mandel and written by executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. It first aired on ABC in the United States on March 30, 2005.

The character of John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) is featured in the episode's flashbacks, revealing how he discovered who his parents were, only to realize in the end that they conned him for selfish reasons. In the present, John is having a personal crisis due to his and Boone's (Ian Somerhalder) inability to open the hatch they unearthed. Meanwhile, Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) reveals to Sawyer (Josh Holloway) that the latter has hyperopia, or far-sightedness.

"Deus Ex Machina" was seen by an estimated 17.75 million American household viewers.
