Joyce Maire Reynolds FBA FSA (18 December 1918 – 11 September 2022) was a British classicist and academic, specialising in Roman historical epigraphy.

She dedicated her life to the study and teaching of Classics[1] and was first woman to be awarded the Kenyon medal by the British Academy.

[8] Reynolds' students included Mary Beard, Pat Easterling, MM McCabe, Charlotte Roueché and Dorothy Thompson.

[4][2][11] Her students Charlotte Roueché and Dorothy Thompson remembered her as a "scrupulous" and painstaking teacher and researcher, "keen to bring the fascination of inscriptions to wider attention" and "well-known in Libya, where she travelled for many decades, as a constant source of help, guidance, and encouragement for all those concerned to understand and to protect the antiquities".

[14] In 2017, Reynolds was awarded the Kenyon Medal by the British Academy "in recognition of a lifetime's contribution to the research and study of Roman epigraphy".

[19] The Joyce Reynolds Award, a scholarship providing £10,000 towards the living costs of two Cambridge University classics undergraduates from under-represented backgrounds, was named after her.
