Reginald George Pridmore Template:Post-nominals (29 April 1886 – 13 March 1918) was a field hockey player,[1] who won the gold medal with the England team at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.[2] Pridmore set an Olympic record for most goals scored by an individual in an Olympic final in Men's field hockey with his 4 goals in England's 8–1 victory. This record stood till the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, where India's Balbir Singh Sr. scored 5 goals in India's 6–1 victory over the Netherlands.

Pridmore was also a cricketer, and played first-class cricket as a right-hand batsman for Warwickshire.[3]

Pridmore was killed in action, aged 31, during the First World War,[4] serving as a major with the Royal Field Artillery near the Piave River in Italy.[5] He was buried at the Giavera British Cemetery nearby.[6]
