Austin Lane Poole

Austin Lane Poole (6 December1889 - 22 February1963) was a British mediaevalist.

He came from an impressive academic lineage, being the son of Reginald Lane Poole (archive keeper at Oxford University), the nephew of Stanley Lane Poole (professor of Arabic at Trinity College Dublin), and the grandson of Reginald Stuart Poole (professor of archaeology at Cambridge). Austin Poole contributed the third volume of the Oxford History of England. He also edited collections of poetry by Thomas Gray. He delivered the Ford Lectures in 1944.

He was a tutor in modern history at St. John's College, Oxford from 1913 and from 1947 to 1957 the President of the college.
