Reginald Arthur Lord (29 January 1905 – 10 June 1997) was an English first-class cricketer.

Lord was born at Beckenham in January 1905. He was educated at Marlborough College, before going up to St John's College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Middlesex at Oxford in 1924. He made two further appearances in first-class cricket, making a further appearance for Oxford against the Free Foresters in 1925, before playing against Oxford for H. D. G. Leveson-Gower's XI at Eastbourne in 1926.[2] He scored 57 runs in his three first-class matches, with a high score of 21.[3] He later served in the Second World War with the Royal Air Force, enlisting as a pilot officer in August 1940.[4] He was promoted to the rank of flight lieutenant in November 1941,[5] while in January 1943 he was made a temporary squadron leader.[6] He resigned his commission nine years after the conclusion of the war, in July 1954, retaining the rank of squadron leader.[7] Following the war, he taught for nearly fifty years at the St Bede's School, Eastbourne. He was still teaching four mornings a week in 1993, when he was 88.[8] He died in June 1997 at Willingdon, Sussex.
