Lancelot Edward Barrington-Ward KCVO, FRCS, FRCSEd (4 July 1884 – 17 November 1953) was a British surgeon who won four rugby union international caps for England shortly after graduating in medicine at the University of Edinburgh.

He then decided on a career in medicine and enrolled in the medical faculty of the University of Edinburgh, from which he graduated MB ChB with honours in 1908.

[2] In 1910 he became house surgeon at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London, and this was the start of an association with that institution that lasted for the rest of his career.

At the start of World War I he volunteered for duty as Surgeon-in-Chief to Lady Wimborne's Hospital at Uskub (now Skopje) in Serbia.

In 1919 he was appointed surgeon to the Royal Northern Hospital, Holloway Road, London, and this enabled him also to build a substantial adult practice.

Having attended the sister of King George V, Queen Maud of Norway, he was awarded the Grand Cross of St Olav.

[3] He died on 17 November 1953 at his home in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, some months after a major operation in Leeds General Infirmary.
