Basil Robert Ward (22 July 1902 – 1976) was an architect born in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand who, with his partners Amyas Connell and Colin Lucas, pioneered modernist architecture in England.
In 1924, with Amyas Connell, he worked his passage to England to further his architectural studies.
At the end of 1930 he returned to England and joined the Connell partnership just as High and Over was nearing completion.
The partners worked separately and carried out a small but highly significant body of work including modernist private houses (notably 66 Frognal), flats and a film studio.
Ward's particular contributions were The Concrete House, Westbury-on-Trym (with Connell 1934–35) and Usherwood, Sutton Abinger, Surrey (1934–35).
