Reginald Lane Poole or Lane-Poole, FBA (1857–1939), was a British historian. He was Keeper of the Archives and a lecturer in diplomatics at the University of Oxford, where he gave the Ford Lectures in 1912 on the subject of "The Exchequer in the Twelfth Century". In 1912, Reginald Lane Poole rediscovered the identity of Henry Symeonis, a 13th-century figure whom Oxford students had had to swear not to forgive for centuries after forgetting who he was.
