Reginald Lane Poole (1857–1939) was a British historian. He was Keeper of the Archives and a lecturer in diplomacy at the University of Oxford, where he gave the Ford Lectures in 1912 on the subject of "The Exchequer in the Twelfth Century". Son of Edward Stanley Poole, the "Lane" in his surname comes from his paternal grandmother Sophia Lane Poole, author of An Englishwoman in Egypt (1844). He was the father of Austin Lane Poole (1889–1963), also a historian and Ford's Lecturer; the brother of the orientalist Stanley Lane-Poole; the nephew of Reginald Stuart Poole; and the great-nephew of Edward William Lane.
He edited, among other works, with W. Hunt, Political History of England (twelve volumes, 1905–10). New International Encyclopedia
