Reginald (Reggie) Addington Ingle, (5 November 1903 – 19 December 1992) played for Somerset from 1923 to 1939 and captained the side from 1932 to 1937. He was born at Bodmin, Cornwall and died at Bath, Somerset.
A right-handed middle-order batsman, Ingle was a regular player for 10 years in the Somerset side from 1927 to 1937. From 1927, Ingle played regularly for Somerset for 11 seasons, never appearing in less than 21 games a year. (He was allowed out of the family firm legal duties by his father, returning to the law firm for the winter months).
At the end of the 1931 English cricket season, Jack White, Somerset captain since 1927, gave up the captaincy and Ingle was appointed for the 1932 season. He held the job for six seasons, and could be accounted relatively successful, since the side finished in the top half of the County Championship twice in this period, a feat not achieved in the preceding seven seasons.
