Ronald Ward (5 April 1901 31 March 1978) was a British actor who, alongside his stage work, appeared in more than twenty British films between 1931 and 1956.[1][2] He was born in Eastbourne in 1901 as Ronald William Ward, and made his screen debut in the 1931 film Alibi.[3] One of his biggest roles was in the popular Vera Lynn vehicle We'll Meet Again (1943), where he was effectively the male lead (although he was billed fourth), co-starring with Lynn and Patricia Roc.

His final marriage was to the actress Betty Baskcomb; and he was father of photographer Michael Ward.[4][5]
