A deflected strike by teenager Lamine Yamal in the 24th minute gave Barca the lead. The visitors levelled in the 42nd minute when Oihan Sancet struck home from the penalty spot after defender Pau Cubarsi fouled Alex Berenguer inside the box.
Lewandowski scored the winner in the 75th minute from a rebound by the goalkeeper, striking a first-touch effort to give Barca their second win in as many games.
Barcelona are level with Celta Vigo at the top the LaLiga standings with six points. Athletic are 15th with one point from two matches.
