Lois Lane is a fictional character in the DC Extended Universe, based on the DC Comics character of the same name. As with her comics counterpart, Lane is a reporter for the Daily Planet and the love interest for Clark Kent / Superman. She is portrayed by Amy Adams and appears in almost all films in the DCEU featuring Superman: Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, as well as Justice League and its director's cut. Lois's character was designed to be a modern-day reporter in a world with superheroes.

The character of Lois Lane first appeared in Action Comics #1 alongside Superman in the first published story featuring either character. Lois was one of the first female characters to appear in an American superhero comic strip. With her long history with the Man of Steel, she has become one of the most iconic love interests in superhero stories and has been Clark Kent/Superman's primary love interest throughout publication history. Lois has appeared in all live action adaptions of Superman, starting with her portrayal by Noel Neill in the 1948 serial, by Phyllis Coates in Superman and the Mole Men, by Margot Kidder in the 1980s Superman film series alongside Christopher Reeve, and by Kate Bosworth alongside Brandon Routh in Superman Returns. Kidder's iconic portrayal of Lane won the actress numerous awards and international recognition.

Actress Amy Adams was cast as Lois Lane in the 2013 Superman reboot film Man of Steel alongside Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan. Adams became the seventh actress to portray Lois in live action, and the first to be red-haired instead of brunette. On casting Adams as Lois Lane, Snyder said that "Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful." Snyder said they cast Adams because she is "supermodern." Producer Deborah Snyder added "Lois is independent and definitely not a damsel in distress. And she's never afraid to get her hands dirty."

As portrayed in the DC Extended Universe, Lois had won the Pulitzer Prize for her work some time before the events of Man of Steel, with the screenplay also mentioning her stint as an embedded reporter with the First Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. She is characterized as a resolute, tough and persistent reporter, who always seeks the "big scoop" and story. When putting aside her job description, Lois is shown to be kind and fair, and after her first meeting with Clark Kent, she is so smitten with his selfless heroics, as well as the childhood pain that he had endured all his life, that she decides to drop what could have been the biggest story in modern human history for him. Adams even goes on to state that Clark is Lois's connection to humanity, saying that "She may have some tunnel vision, but she's got a job and moral standards. [When] we met her before, she would do anything to get the story – now Clark has instilled some faith in humanity in her." Superman comes to fairly quickly reciprocate her love, and after dating her for 2 years by the events of , his love for Lois becomes so great, that Clark goes so far as to let her know that "[she] is [his] world" before confronting Doomsday in a mortal duel, making those his final words. When Superman gets resurrected in and suffers post-mortem amnesia, only Lois manages to save the Justice League from him, as seeing her again makes Superman begin to remember his past life.
