Lavoslav Schwentner je bil slovenski knjigotržec in založnik, rojen 15. 12. 1865 na Vranskem, kjer je 1952 tudi umrl. Nanj nas spominjajo številne izdaje slovenskih književnih klasik.
V knjigarnah v Brežicah in nato v Ljubljani od 1898 je skrbel za izdajanje del slovenskih književnih velikanov. Izdajal je znanstvene in strokovne knjige, moderne glasbene edicije, slovensko mladinsko in otroško književnost, zlasti veliko slikanic, umetniške razglednice. Schwentner je bil organizator Združenja jugoslovanskih založnikov in knjigotržcev in njegov predsednik v obdobju 1933 – 1935. Knjižne izdaje je dajal opremljati takratnim uveljavljenim slovenskim likovnim umetnikom in arhitektom.
V Ljubljani je 1898 Schwentner najprej odprl poslovalnico založbe na Dvornem trgu 3, v pritličju pod Narodno kavarno, 1904 pa je knjigarno preselil v poslopje Mestne hranilnice na Čopovi ulici.
