Reginald Addington Ingle, known as "Reggie", (born at Bodmin, Cornwall, on 5 November 1903 and died at Bath, Somerset on 19 December 1992) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Somerset from 1923 to 1939 and captained the side from 1932 to 1937. Ingle also played cricket for Cambridge University, but failed to win a blue.

A right-handed middle-order batsman, Ingle was a regular player for 10 years in the Somerset side from 1927 to 1937, an era in which the county team was dominated by amateur cricketers. A member of a legal family from Bath, Ingle himself practised as a solicitor in the city and for much of the 1930s, the Somerset side had three Bath solicitors in its ranks, with Bunty Longrigg, Ingle's successor as captain, appearing alongside Dickie Burrough.
